Boundaries: Negotiating Them with Our Little Selves

People Pleasers, I have a couple of questions I thought I'd share with you today that I hope you will take some time to meditate on and consider.

💥 What is it about YOU that brings YOU joy?

💥 What does being AUTHENTIC mean to YOU?

💥 What CHOICES do you make about honoring YOUR authenticity in your closest relationships?

After you ask your current adult self these questions, see what answers come out if you ask them again to your inner child.

I realize the term "inner child" may bring on an eye roll from some, but there is some power in the concept. It hasn't been until lately that I've started really understanding how crucial it is to recognize the influence that little one holds on our lives, and for people pleasers who want to set boundaries the conversations between us can really make a difference.

Acknowledging what drives their fears can create clarity for our adult selves and allow us to slowly teach them new ways of considering what they identify as a scary situation.

Is this what it means to "grow" as individuals?

Lately I have found a lot of power AND growth in taking on the role of "Mother" to this little being. She has so much to learn, and as she learns we both find what it means to boldly take our space as authentically as possible in this thing called LIFE.

If you'd like to explore what it means to confidently and peacefully be YOU in this life, and release your tendencies towards people pleasing and perfectionism, I'd love to work with you.
