16: Using Boundaries to Create Safety in Your Body

My intention for this episode was to talk about my personal experience with setting boundaries to better navigate complicated familial relationships, with the holiday season approaching us. BUT it became an episode about learning to listen to your body to create more safety and love in your life through setting boundaries. I heavily focus on setting boundaries with family members who are toxic, abusive, or unwilling to meet you halfway. A lot of my family history has been with emotionally, mentally, and physically abusive people, and I wanted to create this episode as a living resource for you to begin listening to your body and finding your best path to safety. 

Setting boundaries with family members who may be toxic or abusive can be harder than with an ex that we can completely cut out of our life, and are therefore more nuanced and lifelong. Be gentle with yourself as you navigate this journey, and know that you don't need to do anything to deserve love, safety, and happiness. You deserve it now and always will.

The last 15 minutes are dedicated to the witchy ways we can set smaller boundaries with family members that can be applied to abusive, non-abusive, and just uncomfortable situations. 

Patrons will receive a downloadable PDF to help them navigate setting boundaries as shadow work!
