So Much More
Our purpose for creating our podcast So Much More is to speak about real-life experiences around parenting, womanhood, being a wife, working inside and outside of the home, and so much more! There are so many elements that we are working through each day as women, and top that off with hormones, diet culture, body image culture, constant comparisons of ourselves to others, perceived judgment, and so many opinions and ways of living life among all of us – that sometimes we need to just sit down and have the conversation - we are all different but the same. We all have egos, we all have insecurities, and good days and bad days. We all have struggles and times when we feel defeated and alone. So Much More is meant to talk about the real experiences, the challenges we face, and how we get through those by practicing gratitude and staying positive through it all! To keep our perceptions of others and ourselves clear enough to see the good more than the bad.

Setting Boundaries
Setting boundaries is meant to protect your peace. It builds expectations for others and yourself, on how you will show up and what you will or won't tolerate. For example, maybe you don't like crowded places so you choose not to involve yourself in activities that include those types of environments. The people in your life learn to expect that if a place is crowded, that's not your scene - that is a boundary. Now say you don't like crowded places, but you keep showing up to these types of events, because you don't want to disappoint someone - this is people pleasing. You and others are unintentionally pushing you out of your comfort zone. You will notice that the longer you spend outside of your comfort zone, the more drained you ultimately feel. We shouldn't be riding through life feeling overwhelmed and uncomfortable, because we keep overextending ourselves. We can't help every uncomfortable situation in life of course, but for what we can control, we should communicate and set healthy and unapologetic boundaries to protect our peace. Boundaries can be set with ourselves, with family, and with friends. No one is an exception to setting healthy limits.
