In this powerful episode of The Nurture Network, we're diving deep into the real reason boundaries feel so hard—especially for moms. If you struggle with people-pleasing, burnout, or guilt when trying to hold limits with your kids, this conversation is for you. We explore how our own childhood shaped our sense of boundaries, why motherhood makes it even more complex, and what it really takes to develop boundaries that are firm and compassionate.
You’ll hear a vulnerable story about an attempt to record with my son that didn’t go as planned—and what it taught me about emotional responsibility, self-regulation, and trust. Plus, we’ll talk about how children can teach us about boundaries if we’re willing to pay attention.
This episode also introduces the Boundaries Bootcamp, a 5-week small group experience for 10 moms ready to transform how they parent and care for themselves.
