Setting boundaries takes courage; it’s saying yes to your own deepest needs, even when it might mean disappointing someone else.

It’s not selfish. It’s self-respect. It’s safety.

Every boundary you set teaches your nervous system: you are allowed to have needs that might be inconvenient to others. You are allowed to feel safe. You are allowed to exist fully.
Look at it as practice, a new skill like driving is developed over time. At first, it seems scary and overwhelming; it would be easier to just be driven by someone else. But each time you do it, the brain learns you are safe in control, and that you don’t need to preempt others' disappointment.

The truth is, it’s not possible to avoid disappointing people all the time, and dismissing your own needs reinforces the same pattern that is keeping you disconnected from yourself.
Learning to hold your ground safely is how presence, security and resilience emerge.

✨ Vendor Spotlight: COPE Creative Outlet Positive Energy ✨

🎨 A visionary of holistic health, COPE transforms trauma recovery through the power of Art. At the 12th annual Guts and Glory Digestive and Wellness Expo 2025, you’ll find a safe, inspiring space for creativity to become a path towards healing.

🌱 This research based educational wellness program defines trauma, loss and stress and their impact on the mind, body, and spirit. Through art therapy and self-care concepts, COPE addresses the root cause of unhealthy ways of coping and guides participants towards more empowering ways to cope.

🖌️ The owner, Dawnita Smith, is an artist, art therapist and educator who believes that art therapy helps people gain awareness and insight, which helps promote social, physical, cognitive, emotional and spiritual growth. Art therapy provides a way for both children and adult survivors who have experienced trauma to cope, mend and transform their trauma. Creating art gives a visual way to track and assess the progress that has been made over time.

🎭 Stop by their booth to experience how guided artistic expression can unlock emotional resilience and inner peace through live art therapy demos. Enjoy interactive workshops designed to help you reconnect with your story, strength, and self-worth, and meet the therapists yourself to see how COPE supports trauma survivors with compassion, clinical insight and creative empowerment.
