We'll unpack how childhood conditioning and trauma can disconnect us from our natural boundaries, leaving us unsure how to say no without guilt or fear. We'll also explores the misunderstood energy of anger, not as something to suppress but as a protective force that signals where our limits lie.Through real-world examples and somatic insights, this episode offers gentle, practical steps for reconnecting with your body’s cues, practising “small nos,” and honouring your emotional and physical boundaries.
