In this episode, Dr Shillcutt talks about her resets in 2013 and then in late 2019 where she changed her path and rebuilt what she needed for herself. We discussed how her "Why" did not change, but how she did her "Why" changed and that made all the difference. Setting boundaries has been the key for showing up for herself. We talk about consequences of not setting boundaries and how boundaries at work may differ from boundaries at home. She shows how we all can be empowered to create boundaries for ourselves!
Boundaries Wellness Pearls:
1. You can set boundaries! Anyone can.
2. The areas where you don't set boundaries match up to your biggest pain points.
3. A boundary in your head is not a boundary until you speak it!
4. The more successful you are, the more boundaries you need to set.
