To all my people-pleasers: tune in. Your compassion gets to have boundaries, and in fact, it's healthy to have boundaries for your compassion.
In this episode I will talk about what means to be compassionate, what it means to be nice, how sometimes we are both of these things, and how sometimes it's important to be compassionate without being nice.

Are you feeling burnt out with everything on your plate? It's probably because there is just too much on your plate.
In this episode, I will talk about how it's common for us to have overly high expectations of ourselves, and that in many ways, society has overly high expectations of all of us humans. We will explore some room for boundaries as well as how to be a little more gentle with yourself in the process.
