Boundaries are limits you set for the kind of behaviour you will accept from others and what others will accept from your behaviours. In theory.

"If you’re anything like me, you’re tired of folding yourself into a neat little box with clean descriptors that make linear sense. Women’s lives and experiences just aren’t like that. The messiness of our lives is a main ingredient in the mysticism that is womanhood." Author & women's mentor and coach Megan Dalla-Camina https://womenrisingco.com/ returns to talk to Liana about her new book "Women Rising." Lots to listen to for both women and men.

Do you need therapy?
Or solutions?
Therapy is great for a lot of things. But it's not designed to get you through your day to day. Too often, people get defined by their diagnosis, instead of realizing that many mental wellness skills are learned, not innate. This podcast can give you tools to understand how you perceive and process challenges, so you can be your best self!
