Pain to Power: Emotional Healing, Self-Love & Spiritual Growth

004 Love Yourself Enough to Set Boundaries

Jill Ripley Season 1 Episode 4

What if saying “no” is the most loving thing you can do for yourself — and your relationships?

In this episode of Empowered You, we dive into the transformative power of boundaries. I’ll walk you through what boundaries really are (spoiler: not selfish), why they feel so uncomfortable at first, and how setting them can lead to more authentic connection, not less. I also share a personal story from my post-divorce life that helped me rediscover my own preferences and start honoring them without guilt.

You’ll learn:

  • Why boundaries aren’t walls — they’re bridges
  • How to navigate guilt and pushback with grace
  • Clues to where you may need stronger boundaries
  • Loving ways to say no without overexplaining
  • How setting boundaries is a powerful act of healing

If you’re tired of feeling overextended, resentful, or like you’re constantly putting everyone else first — this episode is your permission slip to start showing up for YOU.

✨ Let’s rewrite the story that says self-sacrifice equals love. Your peace matters. Your voice matters. You matter.
