As a mom, I know the holiday season can be overwhelming. We're constantly juggling expectations from family, social media, and our own hearts, trying to create the perfect experience. In this episode, I share my journey of learning to set boundaries and protect my energy. I've realized that people-pleasing and trying to make everyone happy only leads to resentment and burnout. I want to help moms understand that it's okay to prioritize themselves. Setting boundaries isn't about being difficult; it's about clarity and self-respect. Whether it's limiting event time, choosing what conversations to engage in, or saying no to peer pressure, these small steps can transform the holiday experience. The most important lesson? By taking care of myself, I'm not just helping myself - I'm modeling healthy behavior for my children and breaking generational patterns of self-sacrifice. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, I guide you through the emotional terrain of setting boundaries, especially during the holidays, without guilt, shame, or disconnection. We explore the difference between a boundary and an ultimatum, how to honor your nervous system while still staying connected to loved ones, and why validation is essential when expressing your limits with compassion.I also dive into the importance of culturally sensitive boundary setting, highlighting how our upbringing and cultural values shape the way we approach family, obligation, and personal autonomy. Drawing from current research and real-life client conversations, I offer gentle yet effective re-frames that help you protect your peace while preserving the relationships that matter most.Plus, I share five boundary scripts you can use right away; whether you're navigating gift-giving pressure, overcommitment, political debates at the dinner table, or simply honoring your emotional and financial bandwidth. ♾ In a fast-paced world like the one we live in, time is one of our most important assets. For a few minutes every episode, I, Tannaz Hosseinpour, will be discussing topics that aim to enhance the quality of your life, by helping you feel empowered to take inspired action on your personal growth journey.Connect with me for daily insights:InstagramFacebookTikTokMore resources available on www.minutesongrowth.comThis podcast is for educational purposes only.

What if the way your needs were met in infancy still shapes your ability to feel safe, seen, and supported today?Welcome to the end-of-year challenge: The Return to Magic. Today, Lacy, Jessica, and EMDR-certified LMFT Janelle dive deep into the foundation of all manifestation work: your earliest subconscious blueprint set in childhood. This episode explores the powerful programming from ages zero to 18 months. It's a period most people don't remember, but it's when your soul touched down into your human body—and profoundly shapes who you are today. This early stage is where safety, secure relationships, and boundaries are formed, and Janelle helps us understand how the presence (or absence) of these things can leave us feeling out of balance.This conversation is a reminder that our TBM practice is here to bring us back to our most whole selves. We are not destined to stay stuck in old patterns or loops that don't serve us. We can start from the very beginning and manifest the lives we're meant to embody. This is the work that changes everything.

Do you find yourself giving in to others or letting go of your boundaries just to feel loved, included, or accepted? If this sounds familiar, take heart; it's an extremely common issue. Healthy boundaries are essential for healthy relationships, but it's often tough to create and enforce strong boundaries –especially if they weren't modeled in your early years. In today's episode, I'm joined by a powerful relationship expert, Dr. Margaret Cochran, who will help us navigate the connection between boundaries, cognitive distortions, and getting unstuck from patterns that hold you back. Topics discussed include healthy boundaries, porous boundaries, family dynamics, holiday gatherings, negative patterns, intergenerational patterns, neurobiology, cognitive distortions, psychological boundaries, getting unstuck, marriage, children, personal transformation, individuation, and family issues.Please note that this episode may contain sensitive material; listener discretion is advised.Emergency Assistance Note: If you or someone you know needs immediate support, please call your emergency services.

Send us a textEpisode 692: People pleasers and all people listen up!Surprisingly, boundaries don't push people away, they actually strengthen connection. Dr. Alison Ash returns to unpack sexual boundaries, especially for those who struggle to say no.Boundaries aren't just about your values; they're about your capacity, the fluctuating energy and resources available to you based on sleep, stress, and nervous system regulation. When you're dysregulated and operating outside your window of tolerance, you become reactive and frustrated. (Most of us consistently overestimate what we can handle.)Dr. Aly shares a practical three-part formula for setting boundaries that helps others feel heard rather than rejected.Key Takeaways:• Boundaries aren't selfish, they're based on your actual capacity, which fluctuates daily based on sleep, stress, and nervous system regulation, making them a realistic necessity rather than a character flaw.• The "window of tolerance" explains why you get reactive. When dysregulated, you become irritable and struggle to enforce boundaries, so managing your nervous system is as important as stating your limits.• Healthy boundaries actually filter out unhealthy relationships, meaning people who respect your "no" strengthen the relationship, while those who don't reveal incompatibility, not rejection of them as people.Discussion topics;Sexuality, sexual health, sexual wellness, relationships, mental healthUnderstanding Your Capacity and Setting/maintaining Healthy Boundaries without guilt and while maintaining connection Feeling Safe Saying No Builds TrustUnderstanding Trauma and Nervous System DysregulationManaging Trauma Response Through Nervous System CareCommunication and Pacing in Exploring KinkSubstance Use and Consent in Sexual ExplorationLearning From Past Experiences and Building Intimacy SkillsSex Gets Better With Age and ConfidenceConnect with Dr. Aly:Sexual and Emotional Intimacy Skills online course on Tues, Jan 27th-Mar 17thWe all receive messages about who we are supposed to be, how we ought to feel, and how we should express ourselves, often enforced through shame and disconnection.

Creating a Family: Talk about Infertility, Adoption & Foster Care
Click here to send us a topic idea or question for Weekend Wisdom.Question: We adopted our son at birth, and he is about to turn one already. I deeply care about his birth parents and have tried very hard to maintain a relationship with them. Even during many months of no contact, I think about them every day. Our only post-placement visit with them was at 2 1/2 months. They have no-showed for all the other visits they asked for, and have gone several months at a time without responding to contact. They missed a visit 2 weeks ago and have finally reached back out asking to plan another. Visits require 6 hours of driving and coordinating time off from work. They do not drive and would not have any means of travelling to us. Our plan was to do visits 2-4 times a year. We offered to plan another visit the week of his birthday. I also offered to send weekly text updates. I work in healthcare and need to be very present in my job and prefer not to be on my phone when I am home with my family, so I do not text anyone much during the week. I am now being asked to provide daily updates and to do visits monthly. I don't even respond to my best friend more than once or twice a week because it is hard for me to keep up with messages. I am also not convinced that increasing the frequency of visits will help them follow through on attending them due to the pattern that has occurred so far. I am feeling overwhelmed and unsure how to move forward in a way that is loving and respectful, but also sustainable for our family and best for our son.Resources:5 Tips for Navigating Sticky Situations with Birth ParentsCreating Relationship with Birth Parents in Adoption (Even When It's Hard!)Mama on Earth: A Guest Article on Co-ParentingOpen Adoption Can Be MessyOur #1 Secret Tip for Navigating Open AdoptionSupport the showPlease leave us a rating or review.

In this refreshing and empowering conversation, Heidi Hadley sits down with Melanie Cool, licensed psychotherapist, integrative medicine practitioner, and behavior-change expert, to challenge everything we think we know about self-care.Forget the bubble baths and scented candles — Melanie shares how true self-care is less about pampering and more about boundaries, self-respect, and reclaiming time and energy for what truly matters.Together, Heidi and Melanie explore how changing your belief systems — especially the all-too-familiar “I don't have time” narrative — can radically shift your physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing.

A core dimension of John Lester is the necessity of setting boundaries to maintain both personal well-being and the quality of customer service. He notes that many business owners blur the lines between work and life in hopes of keeping clients happy, but this approach often leads to burnout and a decline in professional effectiveness. By intentionally communicating clear boundaries, John demonstrated that it is possible to sustain high-quality relationships built on mutual respect without sacrificing one's own needs and energy. John's philosophy proves that honest agreements about availability and expectations do not diminish service but actually enhance it. By prioritizing personal refreshment alongside professional duty, he fostered loyalty and trust from his clients, showing that strong boundaries lay the groundwork for sustainable and exceptional service. For John, self-care and disciplined boundaries are not separate from professional success; they are fundamental to it. If you're seeking strategies to elevate your business relationships, strengthen customer loyalty, and protect your own well-being, discover more of John Lester's actionable insights and mindset tools on his website.

Even as Christians, the wise and good thing is to learn when (and how) to say NO and set healthy boundaries.

Episode 245How 2 C The BSSensers! Who grew up in a family that taught healthy boundaries? Smart money says not many of us but we could have used those to ensure we didn't hang around those who took advantage of us or just plain didn't value us. Now the question begs, what makes someone want to be around people who don't value them versus staying to self in peace? Let's talk about a few perspectives concerning the topic. When we first meet someone who we vibe with, we often meet their representative and everything seems like it's “perfect”, but what happens when the honeymoon phase is over? Then again, does it have to? How does one keep the honeymoon phase? Is it all just a fantasy in the mind? We all have wanted some form of success at some point in our lives. How would you recognize a person destined for success? What does success look like to you? I believe success is all about the perspective of the person seeking it. Let's talk about it a bit. May God and His Universe remove any negative energy you may have stored from reading this. If you dig the episode, click, like, and share on your page. Help build the tribe of healing

Episode 3663: Dr. Kelly Flanagan explores the invisible walls we build around our hearts and minds, revealing how these boundaries shape our relationships, protect our sense of self, and sometimes isolate us. He offers powerful insights into how therapy helps us thoughtfully renovate these walls, neither tearing them down nor fortifying them blindly, but crafting doors that allow connection on our terms. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://drkellyflanagan.com/trojan-horses-and-flying-dice/ Quotes to ponder: "Perhaps the biggest walls, the most important walls, are the ones that cannot be seen at all." "Therapy is not meant to be a wrecking ball for the walls we have built. Therapy is a place where our walls are given the renovation they require." "Not a revolving door, where anyone can come and go as they please, but a door of our choosing, that opens from the inside, a door that makes it possible for you to confidently invite people in to your lonely space, because it is good to have company we can trust."
