Shownotes

In this insightful episode, we’re joined by Sherry McClurkin, a seasoned trauma coach and expert in helping Christian women heal the emotional roots of guilt, shame, anxiety, insecurity, and the pressures of living up to unrealistic expectations. Sherry is passionate about empowering women to reclaim their time, energy, and mental well-being, and she believes that setting boundaries is one of the most powerful tools for personal transformation.

Through her 10+ years of experience as a trauma therapist and her own emotional growth journey, Sherry has discovered that many women struggle with boundaries because they’ve been conditioned to believe that setting limits is selfish, mean, or even harmful. In this episode, Sherry dismantles the stigma surrounding boundaries, especially the common belief that “I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings.” This mindset often leaves women feeling drained, anxious, and overwhelmed, constantly sacrificing their own needs for the sake of others.

Sherry explains that boundaries are not about pushing people away, but about creating healthy “fences” around our emotional and mental space. Boundaries allow us to protect our hearts, make clearer decisions, and nurture the relationships that truly matter. They are essential for cultivating a life that’s calm, confident, and purpose-driven—one that reflects our true identity as empowered, Christ-centered women.

Drawing from her proven 5-step process, which integrates neuroscience, biblical principles, and her expertise in trauma therapy, Sherry shows how boundaries can help women:

  • Reclaim their energy and reduce feelings of guilt and shame.
  • Set healthier limits that protect their mental and emotional well-being.
  • Strengthen relationships by creating space for love, respect, and mutual understanding.
  • Make confident, purpose-driven decisions that align with their true identity in Christ.

Throughout the episode, Sherry shares practical steps for overcoming the fear of setting boundaries, empowering listeners to build a life rooted in self-love, respect, and emotional freedom. She emphasizes that boundaries are not just a tool for personal growth—they are an act of love for ourselves and others.

If you’ve ever struggled with feeling “not enough” or have a hard time setting limits, this episode is for you. Tune in to hear Sherry’s wisdom on how to set loving, self-protective boundaries that build the healthy, vibrant relationships you deserve.
