Ep 19: Own Your Experience - The Real Purpose of a Boundary
Welcome to Unhooked with Mia and Allison where we’ll unhook our bras, take a deep cleansing breath, and dive into the topic of transformation. Join us as we explore what it means to expand past the edges of our comfort zones so we can generate more of what we want in our lives. In this episode, we unravel the intricate world of boundaries and explore their profound impact on our lives. A boundary, at its core, is a self-defined limit that separates our personal space, emotions, and needs from those of others. It acts as a crucial tool for establishing a sense of autonomy and fostering healthy relationships. They are flexible structures that allow us to navigate life with a sense of ownership over our experiences. We know we need a boundary when we feel resentful, overwhelmed, or stressed, sometimes in our interactions with others. It's a call to assertively communicate our needs, desires, and limits, and it involves taking responsibility for our own well-being. In essence, setting boundaries is an act of self-empowerment, a recognition that we have the right to shape our experiences and define the parameters of our personal space without resorting to attempts at control through ultimatums.

Join us as we explore what it means to expand past the edges of our comfort zones so we can generate more of what we want in our lives. In this podcast, we discuss what gets in the way of our access to no. Most humans tend to say yes to things for reasons OTHER than they actually want to do the thing. Because we are social creatures, we will avoid saying no because we want to be liked, be helpful, and be seen as a good or nice person. In the process of pushing down our no, we unintentionally lose access to it. We lose it under the reasons for why we must/should say yes. Mia and I share why we might want to cultivate our access to no, the pros and cons of doing so, and practices we use.Ep 15: Putting People on Pedestals
