Why I Started This Group
For most of my life I just couldn't say no to people. I thought if I said no I was a "bad person" or that people would reject or abandon me. Now I know how to say no and still be kind and helpful.
And that's just one of the many, many changes I realized as a result of building healthy boundaries. The best way to illustrate how profoundly I've changed as a result of my healthy boundaries is that I'm now in a healthy romantic relationship for the first time ever! One the most important skills I learned by building boundaries is learning how to directly communicate, which is required in intimate relationships. I was used to indirect communication, which I learned in my family.
I've also learned how to consistently follow through for myself because of building healthy boundaries. That meant I grew to truly love myself and trust myself for the first time in my life. All from building healthy boundaries! I started this group so I could help many women at once to have the kind of transformations I've had, especially those who are in their middle ages.
A Candid Moment
This video is a private moment that was captured at my 60th birthday women's brunch on April 1, 2023. I didn't know I was on camera!
When my friend shared it with me, I just knew I had to share it with others so they'd know who I am, what's important to me, and why I do what I do. This is not a "job" for me, this is a mission!

BELIEVE
UNDO
IDEALIZE
LEARN
DELIVER
Beliefs are often so deep we don't even know that we believe things that are not true. Your mindset will be altered in two ways:
- Debunking your unconscious scripts that are getting in the way of setting healthy boundaries.
- Disrupt your old patterns of thinking about yourself that aren't serving you.
You'll undo long-standing patterns of thinking and behavior that have not been serving you. We'll create a boundary system tailored just for you. This system will remind you going forward what you need to do to uphold and maintain your boundaries so you can pursue things you desire without guilt or shame.
Your core ideals and values matter. We'll clarify your top five values, then you'll build your boundary system in alignment with those values. This ensures that your life stays in alignment with your values, making it easier for you to set and maintain healthy boundaries. THIS is the key to becoming whole.
If you suck at boundaries, chances are you're always focused on others. You'll learned to keep the focus on YOU (the only thing you can control!). You'll learn to do this in four ways:
- What do *I* want?
- Is this my business?
- What's my part here?
- How do I sustain self-care?
Delivering your message when setting boundaries so it has impact requires empowered communication. You'll become empowered to directly communicate with others based on recommended scripts, no matter what their role in your personal or professional life.
This framework will position you to show up for yourself in ways you weren't previously able. You'll have an altered mindset which will allow you to undo those life-long patterns that weren't serving you. You'll learn how to focus on yourself, have empowered communication skills and be in alignment with your values and ideals.

What people are saying
“[After Barb’s program] I finally was able to see my part in my resentment and the disrespect I felt...As I…realized I was allowing the behaviors, I learned to be very clear about what it is I would and would no longer allow in my life. I have CHOICES and I no longer need to cave. I can choose myself, that is not selfish, it is Self-love. It was amazing to share this with others on the same journey. I am happy to report that I am feeling more at peace than I ever have before and I will continue to ‘Do the Work.’”
~ Rose
"I found working in a group a safer way to deal with my own stuff for two reasons: I can see other people’s pattern that I also have easier in them and it is comforting finding out I’m not alone in having that pattern. This created more compassion for myself and others."
~ L.
6 months later, L had this to say, "I remember that boundaries are not to keep people out but to keep me in check and figure out what I truly want. I've been much better at not doing things because people will like it. I'm doing what I like first and foremost. I'm doing better at caring for MY time. First knowing what I want is important."
"I really liked that in all of the discussions we had, every session there were multiple things that someone relayed that was really profound to someone else and significantly helped them on understanding the new topics we were learning."
~ Anonymous
"Although I was aware of many of my limiting beliefs, I didn't know how to change them. The workbook, podcasts, and articles all contributed to helping me shift those beliefs and recognize how they were holding me back and that by taking care of myself (saying no, keeping the focus on myself, seeing negative situations and thoughts as info, not ammo), I could be more beneficial to others… I no longer feel like I am responsible for anyone's happiness, misery, or any other emotion or condition. We are all 100% responsible for our own emotions and conditions because they stem from our own perspectives. I cannot be responsible for anyone else's perspective but my own.
