In this episode, we dive into the surprising wave of emotions that can rise up after you set a boundary. If you’ve ever said “no” and then immediately spiraled into guilt, shame, or second-guessing, you’re not alone. We explore why these reactions surface, what they reveal about your deeper healing, and how to move through them with compassion instead of self-criticism.

Through powerful mindset shifts you’ll learn how boundary-setting can trigger emotional detox, why your old patterns resist your growth, and how to rebuild unshakable self-trust. This episode will help you understand your emotional landscape, honor your inner voice, and stand by your boundaries with confidence, even when it feels uncomfortable.
