Okay moms, we're going full speed ahead into the holiday season. So if you're a new mom and you want to think about what boundaries do I want to set around the holidays, I love to walk through with my clients these three questions. And it's important to remember before we go through these questions, boundaries aren't about shutting people out. They are truly bridges to healthier relationships. So I love to start with my clients and ask them to really tune into this question. What do I need to feel peaceful in this season? And number two, what moments matter most to me and my family? And then number three, what usually leaves me feeling drained and resentful? And when you think about these questions, let the answers be your map. So when you choose to behave in alignment with your values, then your boundaries become really clear. They become obvious and they stop feeling like guilt and start feeling like care and creating the life that you desire.
