Episode 3: Boundaries That Uplift: Saying No Without Guilt

Relationships can be beautiful—but they can also drain us when we’re stuck in cycles of overgiving, guilt, or unclear boundaries.

In this third episode of Reset & Reclaim, we talk about the quiet exhaustion that comes from always being the one who adjusts, makes peace, or puts others’ needs first. If you’ve ever felt resentful after saying “yes,” struggled to ask for space, or wondered if you’re “too much” for wanting more—this one’s for you.

We explore:

  • What healthy boundaries actually look like—and why they’re not selfish

  • How to move past guilt when advocating for your needs

  • Real-life scripts and coaching tools to set limits with compassion and clarity

  • A mindset shift that will change how you view emotional labor forever

You’ll also hear a story from one of our listeners about reclaiming her voice in a decades-old friendship—and the ripple effects it had on her entire life.

What You’ll Learn:

  • The #1 sign your boundaries need work (hint: it’s not what you think)

  • How to say “no” without guilt—and “yes” with intention

  • A 3-step coaching framework to reset relationship dynamics with empathy
