When we have compassionate hearts but don’t know what boundaries are (sometimes called codependency or people-pleasing), it’s easy to confuse love with being unboundaried.

After all, that’s often the only way we’ve experienced love before.

In fact, it kinda feels WRONG to have any boundaries when it comes to love.

Isn’t love supposed to be boundaryless?

This gets even more confusing when someone we love is treating us badly (or asking us to do something that wouldn’t be good for us)…

Isn’t love supposed to be unconditional?

Ugh.

Our compassionate-hearts struggle to know what to do.

So we end up getting hurt (and taken advantage of) again and again… because we don’t know what else to do.

We are faithful to love…but without boundaries, all that seems to mean is that we aren’t faithful to ourselves.

This isn’t working.

Something’s gotta change.

And, the good news is that it can.

As we discover what boundaries *really* are (and, ooooooh, they are so much more than we realized), we come to see things so much differently.

We find that healthy boundaries support, undergird, and nourish our loving relationships.

Plus, boundaries can feel AMAZING!

Because now that we a clear starting place and stopping place (boundaries!), we can rest freely and safely in love!

Whatever that may need to look like.

PS. If this is something you’d like to explore more deeply, you might be a great fit for my 8-week online intensive for compassionate-hearted women. Participants get to work live with me as we dive down into the heart and soul of boundaries together.

PPS. Yes, boundaries are for EVERYBODY, not just women. Unfortunately, my calendar is a little more complicated, lol. The reason my class is only offered to women is solely due to the limitations on my own time/scheduling needs (aka: I can only do so much in a day). Someday I hope to have an offering that is open to more of you! In the meantime, I’m so glad you are here. Thank you for being part of this wonderful community of humans who are becoming boundaried. What a gift! ✨

"Primary foods" are all the things that feed you, that don't come on a plate. Supportive relationships, creative outlets, physical movement, joy, etc are all examples of primary foods that I discuss with my clients as they can impact your well-being just as much as what you're eating. And many times, we use food to fill those primary food gaps in our lives. Have you ever ate food out of boredom, because you were feeling down, or you were tired?

The balance of fierce and tender self-compassion, created by the amazing Johnine Byrne from See Your Words 🙏🏽

The image visually tells the story of the need to balance tender acceptance with fierce action in order to alleviate our suffering. When we do this, we have the sense of wholeness that spurs inner healing and outer change. 🦋

“Procrastination is an emotion regulation problem, not a time management problem,” and other nuggets:

If procrastination isn’t about laziness, then what is it about?

Art from tears

From Blake to biochemistry, “proof that we cannot put our feelings in one place and our thoughts in another.”
