An 8-week program designed to help you create healthier, kind boundaries that you can use for everyday situations.

Nobody really gets just how challenging setting boundaries is for you
You can’t talk about it with many people
Your superpower is keeping it all together for everyone
Meanwhile, you live in an endless cycle of anxiety, overwhelm, and fear of disappointing others…
I GET IT AND I GET YOU!
This was me a few years back. Let me tell you this: You deserve a fresh start, and all of the confidence and peace that boundaries can bring into your life.
I need to be really clear: There is no quick fix when it comes to boundary-setting. You’re well practiced at your way of being in this world. And in some areas it serves you so very well; in other areas it has stopped serving you altogether.
In fact, it’s costing you at times.
Through this program, you will have a chance to create a new beginning, a focused starting point in your boundary work. And I will coach you both lovingly and firmly through the process.
Let’s dive in
Here’s what you’ll find inside of Everyday Boundaries: A New Beginning.
Module 1:
Laying the Groundwork for Your Boundaries Success. In the first part of the course you will connect with your why? With loving arms, you will explore your personal relationship with boundaries and what has brought you to this learning space, as well as set realistic, attainable goals upon completion of the 8-week period and beyond.
Module 2:
Boundaries: Here, There, and Everywhere. Boundaries are central to just about everything and, in week 2, you will explore their vast nature - what they are and are not (hint: boundaries are not about control). You will take a deep dive into the 6 types of boundaries and how they show up in your life.
Module 3:
Boundaries and Me: Self-awareness is the key to your boundaries success. In week 3, you will discover the roles you play and how they contribute to your relationship dynamics and boundaries outcomes. You will clarify your core values as a means to explore areas for growth in your boundaries quest.
Module 4:
The Four-Step Boundary Setting Process: While there is no-one-size-fits-all approach to boundary-setting, the 4-step Everyday Boundaries model is a good starting point to help you begin to set appropriate, effective and compassionate boundaries. You will learn to connect with your feelings, identify your needs and learn when and how to set boundaries that leave you feeling aligned.
Module 5:
Personal Barriers to Setting Boundaries. You will explore the difficulties that arise for you when setting boundaries including understanding your personal narratives about boundaries, your prior experiences setting them, overcoming guilt, and people-pleasing tendencies.
Module 6:
What Really Happens When You Begin to Set Boundaries? Learn what you may encounter from others when you start setting boundaries in your life. You will examine the various ways others may experience you and receive your boundaries.
Module 7:
When Boundary-Setting Goes “Bad”. Even when you feel you’ve done all the right things, setting boundaries may produce unanticipated outcomes. In week 7 you will learn what recovery in boundary-setting looks like when setting boundaries and how to deal with boundary violations. You will learn the gift of the boundary challenger and other roadblocks and blunders you may encounter on the journey.
Module 8:
Boundaries for Life: In your final week of the course, you will develop a language and vocabulary that will help you set everyday boundaries. You will also look beyond the act of “setting boundaries” and examine boundaries as a framework for your new life and as a means to sustain your new beginning.
