✨ The reason your boundaries “don’t work” (it’s not you)


Hey Queen 💖

If you’ve been trying to set boundaries and somehow you end up feeling like the problem, this episode is for you.

Because boundaries aren’t just “saying the right words.” They’re nervous system work. They’re self-trust work. And when you’ve survived narcissistic abuse, you’ve been trained to believe that protecting yourself is “mean,” “dramatic,” or “too much.”

It’s not.

In today’s episode of Narcissistic Abuse Recovery, I’m walking you through:
✨ what a boundary actually is (and what it’s not)
✨ why you second-guess yourself after you speak up
✨ how to stop over-explaining and still hold your line
✨ what to do when they push back, guilt-trip, or punish you for having limits

Your boundaries don’t need their approval. They need your follow-through.

Hellooo queen~ I’m really excited to share this with you! Over the last few months, I’ve been listening closely (and my ADD is exhausted 😅) — to my clients, to the women in this community, and to what I know actually creates lasting change. Because of that, I’ve created two longer-term 1:1 coaching containers, in addition to my 3-month program, for women who don’t just want insight — but want real, supported transformation over time. All three containers offer the same trauma-informed,...
