Do you struggle to set boundaries without feeling guilty or selfish? You’re not alone. Many women in midlife have spent years being the dependable one—the helper, the fixer, the peacekeeper—until one day, they realize they’re completely drained.

In this episode of Her Next Chapter, Diana Guintu dives into one of the most important yet misunderstood parts of personal growth: boundaries. Through the story of her client Sherry, who went from overwhelmed and resentful to grounded and at peace, Diana reveals how boundaries aren’t about creating conflict—they’re about creating clarity.

You’ll learn the three key principles that transformed Sherry’s life and discover Diana’s 3C Boundary Framework to help you communicate, commit, and create space for what truly matters. Because when you honor your own boundaries, you reclaim your peace, confidence, and power.

💡 Here’s what we’ll dive into today:

✨Boundaries are not about conflict—they’re about clarity.
✨Boundaries show others how to respect and support you.
✨Healthy boundaries protect your energy, time, and priorities.
✨Boundaries start with you: self-respect begins with self-honoring.
✨ Communicating your needs clearly helps you build stronger relationships.
✨ Every “no” creates space for a more aligned “yes.”
3C Boundary Framework:
1️⃣ Communicate – Express your boundaries clearly and kindly.
2️⃣ Commit – Uphold your boundaries to build self-trust.
3️⃣ Create Space – Remember, boundaries aren’t just about saying no to others—they’re about saying yes to yourself.

When women thrive, everyone around them benefits.
