Episode 32: Boundaries, Joy & Daily Intention: Kim Mosiman on Choosing Yourself Every Day

 

In this inspiring and grounded episode of The F.E.E.L Podcast, host Melissa Crook is joined by returning guest Kim Mosiman—wellness coach, writer, and longtime friend of the Embracing Layers Network—for a conversation about boundaries, burnout, and the everyday rituals that help us return to ourselves.

Kim shares how she began setting boundaries from a place of depletion and how her journey with writing, nutrition, and joyful movement helped her reconnect with her values. She offers listeners gentle reminders that self-worth and growth can exist at the same time, and that you don’t need perfection to feel at peace—you just need presence.

In this episode, we explore:

  • What it looks like to set boundaries without guilt

  • Shifting from burnout to balanced, purpose-driven living

  • Writing as a daily healing ritual

  • How to make space for passion in the midst of a full life

  • The power of small, intentional moments of joy

Whether you’re learning to say “no” without shame, trying to reclaim your mornings, or just looking for fresh inspiration to feel more grounded, Kim’s story is full of practical wisdom and heart.

You’ll walk away with tools to:

  • Identify and honor your personal needs

  • Create simple rituals that bring you joy

  • Reclaim time for the things that nourish you

  • Release the guilt that can come with self-prioritization

  • Shift your mindset from perfection to progress.

Ways to Engage: Look at places you can carve out a bit of extra time, even if it’s just five to ten minutes in the morning or before bed. Do something you truly want to do or something you don’t think you ever have the time to do. You are worthy of taking time for yourself and fulfilling your passions.
