Self Respect 20250120
“Setting boundaries is not a sign of selfishness, but an act of self-respect.”
– Jodi Picoult, Handle with Care (2009)
☆ Life Application: Let's talk boundaries. Jodi Picoult drops some serious truth when she says setting boundaries isn't selfish, it's self-respect. And let's be real, as women, we often get stuck in that "people-pleasing" mode, right? But friend, in the entrepreneurial world, that can totally drain you and even sabotage your success.
So, time for some soul-searching: Where are you letting those boundaries get blurry? Are you always saying "yes" when you really want to scream "NOOOO!"? Is your phone glued to your hand 24/7? Are you putting everyone else's needs before your own?
Think about it: What would it feel like to finally prioritize YOUR needs? What boundaries would unleash your inner badass and create a life that feels truly aligned? Maybe it's silencing those notifications after work hours, saying "no" to that extra project, or finally booking that massage you desperately need.
This is about more than just saying "no." It's about creating a life where you feel empowered, energized, and in control. So, ditch the guilt and step into your power. What boundaries will set you free?
