Just a few thoughts on RFKs "advice" on Gods Milk.
In all seriousness, can we not shame moms for how they feed their babies? Can we not rectify the systemic issues that make it so difficult to breastfeed in a country with no guaranteed paid leave and short AF maternity leave (when it exists at all). Of course not, because it's 2025 so we gotta blame women. End of rant

My last holiday boundary tip is to remember boundaries are an act of love. Both for yourself and for the people you want to preserve relationships with.

Happy thanksgiving

tip #4
You cannot control how people will respond when you set a boundary. This is such a barrier for communicating boundaries but it's so important to remember no matter what you do, you can't manage or control the emotions of others.

If this feels hard try reminding yourself that boundaries are an act of love, both for ourselves but also for others. They help us preserve relationships.

Holiday Boundary Tip #3
No is a complete sentence. Boundaries are most effective when they are clear- over explaining, justifying just makes things muddy. A polite and clear "no" will do just fine.

Loved the article from in
Just adding in that to form our villages we need to be vulnerable and acknowledge the need for help. I find that so many of my clients struggle with this and that is so common to feel shame about needing support. In fact, it's actively messages that we are doing it wrong if we need help.

Here's the thing, you can have connection without vulnerability and none of us can do this alone.

Take the risk, make the ask!
