Listen "#35: The Importance of Saying No - A Conversation on Boundaries and Self-Care"

Episode Synopsis

Knowing what success looks like for you is something so few of us get clear on, yet we’re constantly striving for success because we believe it will make us feel the way we want to feel. Yet the irony is that we often don’t even know how it is we truly want to feel!

It’s easy to get caught up in your life, pushing to achieve your goals and achieve this success, doing and saying yes to more and more. The result is that you’re maxed out, juggling so many balls, stressing over having no time and not feeling the way you’re trying so hard to feel.

Our guest today is Amanda McKinney, a coach helping entrepreneurs to navigate self-doubt, which we all know is a big obstacle in building strong health and wellbeing. Amanda focuses on your personal definition of success and boundaries, so we couldn’t wait to have her share her expertise and give you some valuable tips on how to say no - and yes - to the things that matter most in achieving your own success.

In our conversation we explore:

Tips to building new habits by focusing on your intention.
The importance of accountability and how it’s possible to do this yourself.
Why it’s essential to get clear on what your version of success looks like.
The challenge many of us face with what we think success is, and why this often leads to feelings of failure, poor wellbeing, and unhappiness.
How important boundaries are to achieving your success and feeling the way you want in your life.
The way our conditioning of doing and having ‘things’ to feel successful is leading to overwhelm, stress and burnout.
Getting started with putting boundaries in place to support your overall wellbeing.
