Reclaim Your Boundaries With Family

Hello Reader,

Well that's the way we've always done it.

Have you seen that episode of Grey's Anatomy when George O'Malley's dad get's shot in the butt while they were out hunting? Chileeee...hilarious.

Well, it all happened while George went off on his family for making fun of him, telling the same tired stories, not respecting his accomplishments and truly, he never wanted to hunt with them in the first place.

George's struggle with his family could all boil down to one word- boundaries.

Like George, you may have wondered how do you create and stick to boundaries with the people you've known forever, especially if it seems they have a warped or old view of who you are?

​My recent podcast episode answers this very question and teaches you how to respond when you are tempted to say yes, but you know you should say no.
