In this episode, we tackle the manipulative voice of guilt that wreaks havoc on your energy, decision-making, and sustainable leadership. Specifically, we discuss boundary guilt—the kind that makes you feel bad for protecting your own time and energy.
We explore the roots of this guilt, the societal conditioning that exacerbates it, and its costly impact on your mental and physical well-being. Most importantly, we provide actionable strategies to reframe your guilt, build new patterns, and say no without feeling guilty.
Ideal for high achievers, people pleasers, and anyone stuck in a guilt spiral, this episode will help you reclaim your space and live a more balanced life. Don't miss out on tools like the GAS check to make empowered decisions aligned with your values.
