Description

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2609954/fan_mail/new] What if boundaries weren’t about pushing people away—but about keeping the relationship intact? In this episode of Women in Bloom, we’re talking honestly about boundaries—what they are, why we struggle with them, and how learning to set healthy boundaries can actually save our relationships instead of sabotaging them. We explore the two extremes many of us live in: * Porous boundaries — where we overgive, overexplain, and let people run right through us * Rigid boundaries — where we shut down, shut people out, and protect ourselves by building walls The goal isn’t either extreme. The goal is balance. We talk about: * Why lack of boundaries often turns into resentment, avoidance, and emotional distance * How people may push back when you start setting boundaries—and why that doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong * How to communicate boundaries clearly and assertively without guilt, aggression, or over-justifying yourself * What happens when boundaries fail because they aren’t enforced—and how to course-correct with integrity This episode is for the woman who is tired of being misunderstood, overextended, or quietly upset—and ready to protect her peace without burning bridges. 📚 Resource Spotlight: I’m also sharing a tool that’s been supporting my own boundary work: Set Boundaries, Find Peace by Nedra Glover Tawwab, along with the companion workbook—powerful guides for learning how to say no, speak up, and stay rooted in self-respect. If you’ve ever wondered: * “How do I set boundaries without losing people?” * “Why do I feel guilty for advocating for myself?” * “Is it too late to reset the tone of my relationships?” This conversation is for you. ✨ Boundaries aren’t punishment. ✨ Boundaries are protection. ✨ Boundaries are an act of love—toward yourself and others.

Ep. 11 Mom, I Didn’t Ask | Navigating Unwanted Advice with Love

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2609954/fan_mail/new] This week on Women in Bloom, we’re catching up with a few personal life updates before introducing something we’ve been so excited to share: the very first installment of our new advice series, Ask an Elder, Ask a Coach. Our first anonymous question comes from a listener who asks: How do you lovingly navigate a relationship with a mother who continues to offer opinions and advice that weren’t asked for? It’s a dynamic so many of us know well. How do you honor the wisdom of a parent while also honoring your own voice, boundaries, and decisions as an adult? In the second half of this episode, Eldress offers her perspective from a lifetime of lived experience, while Jasmine brings a coaching lens to the conversation. Together, they explore how love, communication, and healthy boundaries can coexist, even in complicated family relationships. Be sure to listen all the way through because the advice segment begins in the second half of the episode. And if you have a question you’d like us to discuss in a future Ask an Elder, Ask a Coach episode, you can submit it anonymously here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1e_mTGuRnv7e-5AeYs6HT-sQNRoi_7_xH0o5-L-fAMNg/viewform?pli=1&pli=1&edit_requested=true [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1e_mTGuRnv7e-5AeYs6HT-sQNRoi_7_xH0o5-L-fAMNg/viewform?pli=1&pli=1&edit_requested=true] Life comes at you fast, and to that we say: Bloom anyway.
