Story Time

 

Let me tell you a story about how fecking challenging setting boundaries for me really was.

Yes, the me you see now is a boundaries queen! They are super strong, I am great at setting and sticking to them and am also amazing at teaching others how to do the same (if I do say so myself), but I wasn’t always this way, in fact, I was quite literally the opposite.

 

Conversations

Recently I was having a conversation with my 64 year old mother. We were discussing my business, the parts that bring me joy (boundaries mentoring of course being at the top of that list), and when we talked about it, my mum asked, “what are boundaries”?

This right here, is why I didn’t learn about boundaries when growing up (like most of us do), why I didn’t have any when starting my business, and I certainly wasn’t great at sticking to them in my personal life, it was because my own mother didn’t even know what boundaries were, and in that moment, it made all sense.

Of course, I explained to my mum what boundaries were, and I’m sure she got the gist of it, but she will never have a full understanding of what they are, as they weren’t part of her life, and that’s okay.

 

Boundaries are important

Boundaries are absolutely and utterly fecking life-changing, professionally and personally. Seriously I’m not kidding, when you set and stick to (very important), strong healthy boundaries, you will see the most immense positive changes, that ripple through your business and home life.

For many, like me, we didn’t learn about boundaries when we were children, we are empaths, people pleasers, and therefore it doesn’t come naturally, or feel easy to set and stick to boundaries, and that my wonderful human, is where I come in.

 

How would it feel?

How would it feel to build strong healthy relationships both in your business, and personal life?

To lay out your expectations without fear of judgement?

To protect your energy and time and to focus on your joy?

Yummy right?

 

Here from my clients

The incredible women I’ve worked with would have to agree with you;

“I’ve been guilty of sacrificing myself for the sake of my business, and due to your support and advice, I’ve learnt to say no. I’ve put boundaries in place that enable me to live to work, as opposed to the opposite, thank you.”

“Kate’s workshop on boundaries was fantastic, just what I needed. It got me thinking about my boundaries as a business owner and a parent and I could see where I wanted to make changes. Even better, I took action in both areas of my life, which now ensures I take the time I need for self-care. As a result, I’m a happier Mum and a happier business owner!.”
