Saying "yes" when you really mean "no"
Feeling guilty for disappointing someone
Avoiding difficult conversations
Repeating the same family patterns over and over
Wondering why boundaries feel so uncomfortable

What This Workshop Is About
This 2-hour experiential workshop explores why boundaries become especially difficult with the people we've known the longest—and how to remain connected without abandoning yourself.
Together, we'll discover that boundaries aren't about pushing people away or controlling their behavior. They're about understanding what belongs to you, what belongs to someone else, and how to communicate with clarity, compassion, and confidence.
This isn't about learning to say "no."
It's about learning to stay true to yourself while creating healthier, more authentic relationships.
What You'll Learn
The difference between boundaries, limits, rules, agreements, expectations, and standards
Why boundaries often feel selfish, scary, or "wrong"
How to recognize what belongs to you—and what doesn't
How family roles, attachment patterns, and old beliefs influence your boundaries
How to communicate boundaries with confidence, care, and respect
