“No" is a complete sentence.” ― Annie Lamott   Baby, it’s just you and I today! Kindness vs. boundaries- we need both, but what is the balance? This is a quick love note from me to you (and to myself) to PROTECT YOUR MAGIC aka use boundaries, they are kindness to yourself. Today I unpack the literal definitions of kindness, boundaries, and personal boundaries. Relationships are one of the great gifts in life and we need to communicate when things are ok and not ok with ourselves. Trust your body/gut accordingly and draw a line where need be, this is your permission to do so! All relationships will be stronger with boundaries (and of course kindness). The more we talk about boundaries and create safer spaces for our hearts to march forward, the more kindness we will have to offer those around us. Especially the ones we care about most.     Highlights: Kindness vs. Boundaries. It’s not about you, it’s about me. Protecting your magic to share more if it with the right people. Deeper self-understanding = deeper human connection. Communication, elevation, renovation. Being the example. Self-care. Tradition, expectation, and managing societal pressure.
