In this episode, we’re going to be talking about boundary setting. This topic is something I’ve been dying to talk to someone about because I am not so good at it! I tend to let people walk all over me because I'm a people pleaser. I hate disappointing people to such an extent that I’m willing to make myself uncomfortable rather than say anything. It’s definitely something I need to work on. I’ve had some bad situations as a new mom happen to me that could have been avoided if I was just proactive and learned how to set boundaries in a healthy way. To help me with this topic is going to be Jemila Medley, who is an occupational therapist, pelvic floor therapist, singer, dancer, and blogger. Jemila is a born and raised Jersey girl living in Dallas, Texas with her wonderful husband, Austin and her adorable son, Major.Here's what we talked about in this episode:Advice for new moms in how to set boundariesOur personal experiences in boundary settingHelpful phrases for new moms to start the conversation when setting boundariesThe best time to set boundariesHow to not experience guilt around boundary settingWords of affirmation to help you gain confidence in boundary settingHow poor boundary setting is linked to self-esteem and self-worthExamples of what poor boundaries may look like:Having unexpected and frequent visits from themUnsolicited input about your partnerUnsolicited advice about how you're raising your childrenHaving them buy things for your home without asking youFrequent comments about your diet or bodyInterfering in your personal lifeResource: 6 Steps To Setting Healthy Boundaries With Parents (And What That Looks Like)Connect with Jemila Medley:InstagramWebsiteYouTubeFacebookConnect with Lina:Personal Instagram: @linaforrestalBlog: www.linaforrestal.comPodcast Instagram: @newmamaspodcastClubhouse Username: @newmamaspodcastArtwork Credit: Gabi's MediaSupport the showConnect with Lina on @linaforrestal on InstagramFollow the @newmamaspodcast on InstagramRead Lina's Blog: www.linaforrestal.comSupport the Show: Buy Me a Coffee (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/newmamaspodcast)
