E 173: Boundaries & the Authentic Self: Why Saying No is a Yes to You

In this empowering follow-up to my conversation with Dr. Michelle Montero, we dive deep into the intimate connection between healthy boundaries and living as your truest, most authentic self. So many of us—especially adult children of dysfunction—grew up learning to shape-shift, people-please, and suppress our needs just to survive. But here’s the truth: boundaries aren’t walls—they’re bridges. They connect us back to who we really are beneath the masks.

I’m unpacking:

• Why honoring your "no" is essential to discovering your "yes"
• The biggest myths we’ve internalized about setting boundaries (especially in family systems)
• How boundaries act as daily declarations of self-worth
• A three-step process to begin aligning your boundaries with your values
• How reclaiming your space helps you show up more fully in every area of life

If you’ve ever struggled to speak up, felt guilty for needing space, or feared you’d lose love by being honest—this episode is your permission slip to reclaim your truth.

I would love for you to join me in my FREE seminar, "Awakening Your Authentic Self" where we talk about boundaries. This seminar happens every Wednesday at 1:00 pm.

Hey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in! If this episode spoke to your heart, just know there’s even more support waiting for you.

I work with people who are ready to heal from the inside out — especially those dealing with chronic stress, anxiety, inflammation, gut issues, or burnout. If you’ve been struggling with symptoms your doctors can’t fully explain, it may be that your past is still living in your body. Unhealed emotional wounds and nervous system dysregulation often show up as physical and mental health challenges — and I’m here to help you break that cycle.
