When we start setting boundaries, questions pop up that we don't always know how to answer. Questions like: what am I allowed to even need in my relationships? What am I allowed to ask for? And underneath that, what do I believe I deserve?

That's why, in this episode, we're going to walk through the seven basic emotional rights that every human being has available to them in any relationship if they so choose. We're not just going to name them either, we're going to reclaim them; because when you don't know your rights, you'll end up negotiating your worth.

Boundaries aren’t just about what you say ‘no’ to, they're about knowing what you have the right to say ‘yes’ to. When you prioritize your emotional rights, you're saying yes to peace, to mutual respect, to aligned relationships. Yes to being seen, valued, and treated like you matter–because you do.

This conversation is deeply personal and transformative because we’re talking about something that completely changed my life: boundaries. I don’t mean surface-level boundaries, but ones that honor your nervous system, help you stop abandoning yourself, create emotional safety, and ultimately, bring you back home to your relationship with yourself.

I’m covering what boundaries are and what they are not, signs of unhealthy boundaries in your life, and the emotions we need to learn to manage to be able to set healthy boundaries in our life.

If you feel like you’re constantly over-giving, over-functioning, or over-explaining just to keep people close, this episode is definitely for you. Remember, it’s not about perfection; it’s about alignment and it's about learning to build a life that includes you, your needs, and your truth.

The last three episodes we focused on the foundational elements of self-connection, self-care, and self-trust. Now, it’s time to hear an inspiring example of someone who put in the work to build that foundation into her own life and all the wonderful shifts that have followed.

This episode, I’m sitting down with my dear friend and fellow life and relationship coach, Erin Watt, as she gets vulnerable about her personal journey with healing. Erin shares her struggles with early childhood trauma and addiction, how everything changed when she started doing spiritual work around money, the importance of clearing out “emotional constipation” as she calls it, and how she made it back herself after so many years of self-disconnect.

If you’ve been feeling emotionally constipated, if you’re disconnected from yourself and looking to return home, come join us for a hope-filled conversation that just may start you on your own journey to connection and self-trust.

As children, we all have an innate sense of inner knowing, but many of us disconnect from that inner knowing as a way to survive our environments. We learn to doubt our gut feelings, to override our discomfort, or to seek external validation instead of trusting our own perception.

That changes today. This episode, I’m going over the blueprint for developing self-trust, which is built on a solid foundation of self-care (go back and listen to Episode 5 if you haven’t already!). I’ll guide you through how to rebuild self-trust in practical steps, how to reconnect with your inner knowing, and how to re-teach your nervous system that you can trust your own voice.

When you begin to trust yourself, things shift. You stop outsourcing your self-worth and looking for other people to tell you what’s right for you and you start living by your own standards instead. I’m so excited to help you make that shift, one aligned action at a time.

We know that self-care is foundational to this work, now it’s time to explore what real self-care actually looks like—not as another item on your to-do list, but as a system that feels sustainable and truly aligned with your life.

This episode I’m sharing the six areas of self-care that I believe are essential for living a fully connected life. I’ll guide you through a quick self-assessment to help you check in with where you are now, and from there we’ll set realistic and measurable goals you can carry into your week and beyond.

Self-care isn't just one thing, it's multi-dimensional. And when we nurture each area, we create a foundation of well-being that allows us to function at our best and show up securely in our lives and relationships.

Creating self-connection is about getting curious and letting go of judgement, which is easier said than done when you’re used to viewing yourself through a critical lens.

This episode, I’m teaching you how to start tuning into yourself instead of always looking outward for permission, direction, and validation. I cover how to identify the signs that you’re disconnected from yourself, what our emotions may be trying to tell us, strategies for getting out of your head and into your body, why a dishonest ‘yes’ is a ‘no’ to the self, and ways to ensure you’re giving an authentic ‘yes’ every time.

If you have ever struggled with self-trust, if you’ve ever felt lost in your own life, spent years prioritizing other people and not even really knowing what you need any more, or if you’re just a human being, this episode is for you.

Accepting the ways we keep ourselves stuck is one of the hardest parts of healing, but when we can find the courage to face the mirror, the world opens up for us. In a special first guest episode, I’m sitting down with my dear friend, actress and best-selling author Minka Kelly, to talk about all the ways her life transformed when she stopped trying to fix everyone else and started focusing that healing energy inward.

In this vulnerable and heartfelt conversation, Minka opens up about her journey of self-discovery. She reflects on the role of boundaries, personal accountability, and the importance of creating a safe inner home for yourself. Together, we talk about the bravery it takes to embrace authenticity and the healing that comes from sharing your story.

This episode is a beautiful reminder of the power of safe, supportive relationships in the healing process. My hope is that my conversation with Minka leaves you feeling seen and empowered as you continue on your own path of self-trust and personal growth.

In episode two, we’re diving into the core themes that will guide this podcast—self-connection, communication, boundaries, healing, and personal transformation.

I’m breaking down how setting healthy boundaries leads to self-empowerment and deeper connections, how self-trust is built through everyday choices, and why learning to reparent your inner child and teenager can be lifechanging. You’ll also learn how emotions serve as a communication system from your nervous system and how understanding them can create deeper self-awareness and growth.

This episode lays the foundation for the work we’ll be doing together, giving you a clear roadmap for what’s ahead. Expect practical, easy-to-apply tools, deep insights, and a compassionate space where you’ll feel supported in your journey.
