What does it mean to be a fixer? Is being a fixer a good thing or a bad thing? In this episode, your host, Stephanie Cooper dives in deep to these topics. Being a fixer is when someone tries to fix everything for everyone. This isn't good because you tend to attract people you think you can fix, turn into a free therapist, and feel responsible to fix things that are not your responsibility. Instead of trying to fix everyone else, be a fixer of yourself. Assess the situation and know your motivation. Empower people to fix their own problem and encourage them to figure out different resolutions to their problems. 

This week we are talking about healthy boundaries again, and this time Stephanie is joined by Kim Mayes! They kick off the episode by sharing an anonymous quote,  "Walls keep everybody out, boundaries show people where the door is." Boundaries are important for many reasons, boundaries with others and more importantly, yourself. Boundaries are made starting from childhood, and as you grow, it's vital to evaluate yourself and shift them. As they do come with sacrifice, you need to let others you're serious about it, and create your non-negotiables. Listeners will be ready to love yourself by setting up these boundaries, be intentional, and focus on the positive!  Click here to follow Kim on Instagram Click here to follow Stephanie on Instagram

How do you set up healthy boundaries and why are they important? Setting up healthy boundaries is a necessary part of your broken into beautiful journey. They're made to protect yourself, it's not being selfish. Whether its work, school, at home, or friendships, having healthy boundaries is important.  It's not your job to take responsibility of other adults, and you don't have to anticipate the needs of other people. In the same matter, it is not anyone else's job to make you happy, it's your job to make yourself happy. Listen to the full episode to learn about what healthy boundaries will help you the most!

Dealing with grief? In this episode, Stephanie shares what grief taught her. Grief has many different stages which she explains the difference between.
