In this episode of the Joy Muck Club podcast, we explore the essential role of boundaries in building and maintaining healthy relationships. I break down the idea that boundaries aren’t walls but guidelines for how to love yourself and others in a respectful, balanced way. We’ll discuss the signs of unhealthy boundaries, including when relationships feel draining or imbalanced, and how recognizing these signs is key to creating stronger, more fulfilling connections. Plus, we’ll dive into why setting boundaries is ultimately an act of self-love and a powerful reminder of your worth.

Key topics covered:

• Boundaries are an essential foundation to healthy relationships
• The signs of unhealthy boundaries
• Boundaries as an act of self-love and knowing your worth

In this episode of the Joy Muck Club podcast, I explore why self-love can be so difficult and why it’s okay to take a break when you need to. It’s normal to struggle with loving yourself, and sometimes, it’s important to lean on others for support.

Key topics covered:

• Self-love is a worthy journey, but it’s not always easy
• Why you shouldn’t just put on a happy face and pretend to love yourself
• It’s OK to pause, just don’t stop
