Season 2 Episode 31: Boundaries, Boundaries, Boundaries with Shaina & Lauren
We grow up in a world, and in a culture, that doesn’t teach us about the human faculties we are born with.
These faculties include our breath, energy system, presence, and perceptual awareness. It seems crazy that we are given these bodies that do so many things, and what we learn in school, has almost nothing to do with our internal realms. Perhaps it is intentional - or it’s just a lack of awareness? I feel that the more we learn about our inner-world and personal experiencing, the more richness, and understanding we can bring to life.
Today, many of us struggle with overwhelm, sadness, anxiety, and many other difficult experiences. Women are found to be 2-3x as likely to struggle with depression and anxiety as men.
When I really start to think about why… one of the very possible reasons could just be: Boundaries, or the lack of them.
Creating boundaries is a way of valuing our worth, our time, our energy, and our resources. It’s a way to acknowledge ourselves, cut out draining energies, and keep us from things that are not in alignment. Setting them is hard because we can feel scared to speak our truth, and fear how others might respond.
Today, Lauren and I get honest about where we are at in our study of boundaries. We discuss what we’ve learned, examples of experiences we are going through, and what root-trauma we have to touch to be able to feel worthy of creating healthy boundaries.
For us, in setting healthy boundaries, we are learning how free we are when we speak our truths and how good it is to honor our needs...
