Ever feel a little taken advantage of, resentful,

Ever feel a little taken advantage of, resentful, or unheard? It might mean you have the chance to set healthy boundaries in your life. Boundaries are the foundation for good relationships and freedom. Listen to this week's podcast for more on how to set boundaries, what's at the core of why boundary-setting can be a challenge, and what it looks like in action.

From the beginning of our friendship, we've always

From the beginning of our friendship, we've always *really* connected over food (we still do!). This is a photo taken at our favorite bakery in NYC, where we frequently indulged. But we haven't always had the healthiest relationships with eating and food. We both spent a lot of time in cycles of either restriction (no carbs), bingeing, guilt (urgh I can't believe I ate that), trying the diet fads (juicing, veganism, etc), and more. The biggest change for us came when we began embracing more intuitive eating - and not sticking to any rules. Focusing on nourishment and listening to our bodies. It's why we wanted to talk about it on the podcast this week, **you can hear our stories and all about intuitive eating on this week's episode @ the link in bio** <3⁠ ⁠ Here's some of what we've learned and how we've changed what we do now:⁠ ⁠ From Kat: I learned years ago that restricting myself from foods that I love (pizza and pasta are my favorites) just doesn't work for me - I end up binging on the food I didn't have shortly after. What works really well for me is focusing on the overall nutrients on my plate versus completely restricting myself from the food. So if I want pizza, I have it but I make sure to have a side of greens with it. This method really works for me. I'm not restricting myself from anything, I'm simply adding more nutrients to my meals. ⁠ ⁠ From Stefania: For me I spent a lot of my life carrying around [always just a bit of] extra weight. It didn't feel like it was mine but I was in a constant battle to be rid of it. I was focusing SO much on the goal and being thin that it backfired and was a constant cycle of working out too hard and then always being starving. Embracing intuitive eating helped to heal all that. One of the biggest shifts I experienced when I started eating intuitively was moving away from the 3-meals-a-day structure and eating all throughout the day whenever I want something. I lost the feeling (and subconscious fear) around being hungry, and that part of my life now feels so much calmer and easier.⁠ ⁠ Can anyone relate? Would love to hear your stories on this since it's something so many of us go through.

As the saying goes, the only people who get upset

As the saying goes, the only people who get upset about you setting boundaries are the ones who were benefitting from you not having any. Setting boundaries can be tough - especially in dynamics where they haven't been there in the past (codependency, enmeshment, "we're just so close!") - but we have learned that setting and sticking to your boundaries creates SO much freedom and room for joy in your life. ⁠ ⁠ in this week's episode, therapist Maria Sosa talks us through how to set effective boundaries - how we know if we're lacking boundaries - and steps to take right now. ⁠ ⁠ We're sharing out personal experiences with boundaries, too.
