Blog Excerpt:Callie Martin has been on a long journey of discovering healthy boundaries and putting them in place. She emphasizes understanding your values and how they dictate what you say yes and no to. If you don’t value yourself and your time, life becomes about pleasing others instead of honoring yourself. Through journaling, Callie reframes guilt and communicates with authenticity. She models what it means to live your truth—even when it’s hard—and invites others to do the same.

💛 Ways to Engage:If you’re struggling with guilt from setting boundaries, journal it out. Write down your thoughts. Ask yourself, what is reality? What is going on in your life? Why did you say no? Ask yourself, what are my thoughts? What narrative am I telling myself? Recognize that the stories you tell yourself are not always fact, and you can release yourself of the guilt from setting healthy boundaries.
