Episode 118: Boundaries and the Art of Saying No with Dr. Nicole LePera

When you are trying to heal from chronic illness, self-care takes time – everything from preparing homemade meals, to taking time out to manage your stress, to prioritizing sleep at night. If we say yes to these things, we will need to say no to other things. The opposite is also true: if we don’t set boundaries, we won’t have the time we need to take care of ourselves. But today's podcast isn’t just about time. Boundaries are also about respect and relationships. How do we want to be treated? What types of people do we want to surround ourselves with? And how do we have difficult conversations with those we love? My guest is holistic psychologist, Dr. Nicole LePera. Together, we share our best tips for building our boundary muscles.
