Today's podcast is a little different! I'm sharing a journey I'm actively walking around learning to say no and set healthy boundaries.

 I've had a lifelong struggle with people pleasing that has impacted all areas of my life.

Showing up to dinner with a friend when I'm so sick I have to drag my ass through the door because I hate to cancel plans? Check.

Pointlessly dating the same guy for weeks because I can't bring myself to tell him there's no spark? Check.

Taking on a volunteer role that is essentially an unpaid part-time job just because someone asked? Check.

Ignoring it when someone is mistreats me, because I'm programmed to be pleasant? Check.

 But over the past few years, I've had a few wake up calls (ahem: chronic illness) that I need to heal this so I can serve at higher level.

So this week, I'm sharing some actions I'm taking (Garbage Bitch challenge!) and some of the teachings that have supported me as I'm walking this healing path.
