Episode 35 - The Boundary Blueprint: How to Reclaim Your Time, Energy, and Power Without Guilt with Melissa Crook

By Jessica Garrison 

With the new year comes new challenges, but it also comes with new beginnings and a fresh mindset. Boundaries are guide posts to help you make informed decisions while still prioritizing yourself, making them essential in your embracing layers journey. 

Host Melissa Crook discusses The Boundary Blueprint, dedicated to the second talking point in The F.E.E.L Podcast. In this episode, Melissa discusses the importance of boundaries for everyone, though they can be especially difficult to maintain if you’re codependent or a recovering people pleaser. They serve as a reminder to understand where your limits are and what needs have to be fulfilled. You have to do what is best for you, and boundaries help keep you on the path to achieving this. 

Melissa also encourages listeners to stop justifying themselves. We tend to over explain when we tell someone “no,” but that is the confident part to setting boundaries. The more practice you get at it, the less you will feel the need to explain why you made the decision you did. 

We hope this episode helps listeners understand boundaries, why they are necessary, and how they can begin to confidently set them in their own lives. If you struggle with this, listen back to some of our other episodes, paying extra attention to the boundaries talking point. Melissa is also available via our contact form to give extra support in any area you may need. Set boundaries in your life so you can live in and continue to protect your peace.
