EP 97: Take Back Your Power: The Art of Setting Boundaries

I’ve been thinking a lot about how often we, as women, put ourselves on the back burner—saying yes when we mean no or ignoring what our bodies are telling us. In this episode, I get into why reclaiming our power and prioritizing ourselves is non-negotiable.

We’ll unpack the pressures behind people-pleasing, the magic of self-care rituals, and how setting boundaries can change everything. It’s all about listening to your body and owning your worth—because you’re so worth it.
