Boundaries - the Importance of Internal Clarity

Just Aliza and Karen today while Jenn is recovering from surgery. Today we needed to process setting boundaries that work for us. We touch on: People can't respect your boundaries if you don't set them for yourself The energetic impact of having clarity on your boundaries for yourself When we are clear on our boundaries, we no longer need to justify what we are asking for - we can simply ask Do we have to have an experience with an unstated boundary being crossed to get clarity Clarity allows us to show up in relationships and enforcing boundaries in executive mode rather than in survival or emotional mode (and executive mode is much more effective) Boundaries can become clear to you in real time while you are seeing it crossed Setting boundaries don't have to have judgment associated with them - what doesn't work for you might be desired by someone else How our flimsy boundaries are based on people pleasing and putting other people's comfort and desires ahead of ourselves The role of intuition and tending to our body and internal cues in gaining clarity in our boundaries The role of the resounding yes in understanding our boundaries Boundaries within ourselves about the expectations we have in relationship The sacred pause and its role in understanding boundaries Chapters 00:00 Setting Boundaries in Midlife 03:57 The Power of Personal Boundaries 09:24 Clarity and Communication in Relationships 16:19 The Good Girl Phenomenon 22:14 Finding Peace with Boundaries 25:44 Embracing the 'No' in Our Lives
