You don’t actually have a time management problem.
You have a boundary problem.
In this episode of Wholistic Wednesdays, we explore why saying “no” feels so hard—and why boundaries aren’t a mindset issue, but a somatic one.
Boundaries don’t live in your calendar or your to-do list.
They live in your body.
We break down how your nervous system responds to perceived threat during boundary-setting moments, why the fawn response shows up in difficult conversations, and how your body learned to override its own limits in the first place.
This episode is a compassionate, body-based look at boundaries—designed to help you stop over-explaining, people-pleasing, and self-abandoning… without forcing yourself to be “better at saying no.”
In This Episode, We Cover:
✨ Where boundaries live in the body
✨ How the fawn response keeps you saying yes when you mean no
✨ Why traditional boundary advice doesn’t work for the nervous system
✨ A somatic rehearsal exercise for difficult conversations
✨ How to feel safe holding a boundary before you speak it
This episode is about moving from intellectual boundaries to embodied boundaries—so your “no” feels grounded, calm, and clear instead of charged or guilty.
