Ready to stop feeling like a jerk every time you protect your time and energy? This one's for all the women who know they need boundaries but feel guilty just thinking about setting them.
I keep hearing this at networking events — successful women who can negotiate million-dollar deals but can't tell their neighbor they're not available to babysit; or 'feel bad' delegating to their employees because they assume they have too much on their plate already.
What we're diving into:
- Why saying no feels like being a bad person
- The crosswalk analogy that'll change how you think about boundaries
- How guilt is actually your protection mechanism (not proof you're considerate)
- 3 journal prompts to break the guilt cycle
The truth bomb: Your boundary struggles aren't about not knowing how to say no. They're about an unconscious belief that your worth depends on managing everyone else's comfort AND that your guilt = being considerate.
But really? Guilt is keeping you from authentic relationships where people actually know the real you and what you need.
