In this episode, we dive into one of the biggest struggles for adult children from dysfunctional families: setting and sticking to healthy boundaries. If you’ve ever found it challenging to maintain boundaries, you’re not alone. We explore five main reasons behind this difficulty, starting with the fear of rejection or abandonment. Often, those raised in dysfunctional environments feel they must prioritize others to avoid isolation, and that belief lingers into adulthood.
We also discuss how a lack of clarity around personal needs and feelings makes it hard to recognize what boundaries to set, while guilt and a sense of obligation can pressure us into “keeping the peace” at the expense of our well-being. Low self-esteem plays a role as well, with many of us questioning whether our boundaries are valid or feeling unworthy of asserting our needs. Finally, we explore the patterns of people-pleasing and codependency that develop as coping mechanisms, where we feel responsible for others’ happiness, often at the cost of our own.
By recognizing these patterns, we can start to redefine our boundaries and make meaningful strides toward healthier relationships. Join us as we uncover the roots of these struggles and share insights on how to break free.

Hey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in! If this episode spoke to your heart, just know there’s even more support waiting for you.
I work with people who are ready to heal from the inside out — especially those dealing with chronic stress, anxiety, inflammation, gut issues, or burnout. If you’ve been struggling with symptoms your doctors can’t fully explain, it may be that your past is still living in your body. Unhealed emotional wounds and nervous system dysregulation often show up as physical and mental health challenges — and I’m here to help you break that cycle.
As an international inspirational speaker, NLP Practitioner, Trauma-Informed ACOA Coach, Neurofit Trainer, and Best-Selling Author, I bring both deep personal experience and professional training to the work I do. I believe in prevention, not just intervention — and use a body, mind, and spirit approach to guide others toward becoming the happiest, healthiest versions of themselves.
My holistic toolbox includes nervous system regulation, trauma-informed coaching, nutritional support, and natural healing strategies — including access to a powerful biofrequency scanner that gives us real-time insight into your wellness reality so we can create a personalized roadmap for healing.
Most of all, I’m your friend on this journey — cheering you on and reminding you that you absolutely can live your best life EVER. 💛
