Hi, I'm Barb. I had horrible boundaries too!
I had no boundaries and was constantly people-pleasing others, so if that’s you - I know what it’s like.
You’re constantly worried about what other people are doing (or not doing!) and what other people are thinking of you. Meanwhile, you’re neglecting your own needs and not taking care of yourself! (I know, because that was me!) I still help people, but I’m no longer rescuing them. And I help from a place of abundance, rather than a place of lack - my cup is full AND I'm not looking to get them to like me.
I have healthy boundaries now, which means I take really good care of myself, stay out of situations that drain me, and have plenty of energy to help those who are willing to help themselves. I no longer spend energy helping people who have no interest in helping themselves.
If you’d like to learn how to develop boundaries, stop the people-pleasing and take care of yourself I can help! I provide paid and free boundaries resources. There's a free worksheet and article below, as well as links to a bunch of episodes rom my podcast that are specifically about boundaries. I'm especially gifted at helping others develop healthy boundaries, so if you think you'd like coaching on boundaries you can find out more below about that too.

What people are saying
"Coaching has helped to take care of myself better. I now know what my personal values are and how to set boundaries to protect myself and remain safe."
~ R, Group coaching client
"[I came farthest in the area of] self love. The personal boundaries I've set for myself have finally allowed a connection between my logical positive thoughts about myself and feeling that they are true."
~ H, Group coaching client
"This has been life-changing for me in the best of ways. I realized that I've been trying to set boundaries for years but would always waver and eventually fold because I wasn't sure where I could set them and what was mine and what wasn't... Learning what was mine and what wasn't was the most important thing for me and what allowed me to start setting good boundaries."
~ E, Group coaching client
"I have never seen boundaries presented in such an amazing way. I will be working on it diligently in the next few days and weeks ahead. Love the fences and visuals." ~ Anonymous workshop participant
