Empower Yourself: The Art of Setting Boundaries
Manage episode 471898969 series 3647352
Do you feel guilty for saying no? Struggle to protect your time, energy, or peace? You’re not alone — and it’s time to change that.
In this episode, Julie Waite, women's safety advocate, and Dene Josham, self defence expert and former A-list bodyguard, unpack how boundary-setting is a core part of emotional self-defence. They explore the types of boundaries we all need — emotional, physical, time, and personal — and how to communicate them with clarity and confidence.
Learn how to deal with guilt, stand firm when people push back, and protect your emotional energy without apology.
“Every time you say ‘no’ to what drains you, you say ‘yes’ to your self-worth.” – Julie Waite
