One day, Sheryl Green realized people-pleasing was getting her nowhere.
She had trouble saying no to friends and family, until she hit the old metaphorical brick wall.

That's when she discovered what a boundary is.
When Sheryl was growing up, she dreamed of becoming an FBI profiler and hunting down serial killers. A wicked cool job that would have been, if you ask me … I mean, I've seen almost every episode of Criminal Minds … at least until Shemar Moore left
the show.
She earned a master's in forensic psychology until she realized she'd rather not spend her days inside the minds of criminals.
Her path took her instead to mental health, customer service, public relations, education and the nonprofit world, including animal rescue.
As a relationship expert, she has now authored six books, including "Surviving to Thriving: How to Overcome Setbacks and Rock Your Life," "A Pet Parent's Guide to First Aid and Prevention" and "You Had Me at No: How Setting Healthy Boundaries Helps You Banish Burnout, Repair Relationships and Save Your Sanity."
I brought Sheryl on to the podcast to talk about exactly that. Boundaries. Especially the boundaries we need to set and maintain when we're facing or healing from the loss of our best fur friends.
