How many times have you wished you could make your family member, partner or colleague stop treating you the way they do?

So many of us think that setting boundaries are for the other person. As a therapist and a mental wellness coach, many of my clients ask me how they can get people to treat them better or how they can get others to respect their boundaries.

I tell them that they are looking at boundaries incorrectly - Boundaries are for you not them!

Boundaries allow you to create the environment you need - whether mental, emotional or physical, and frees you to live your life on your terms.

As someone who copes with an auto-immune condition, I understand what it is like to live with a chronic illness.

When you are first diagnosed with a long-term health condition, it can be disorienting and overwhelming, As time goes on, we can end up struggling with how best to deal with our condition and the impact it has on our lives.

Learning to cope with the daily stressors of living with your chronic illness also includes learning how to deal with stress and the effects of stress.

Listening to the many self-development podcasts and YouTube videos, we are all being told how important it is to practice gratitude. Why is this so important?

Research has proven that embracing gratitude can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression and can help you create more abundance and joy in your life.

As a Certified Coach, Psychotherapist and Mindfulness Teacher, so many of my clients are looking for joy, peace, and more meaning. I regularly share that practicing gratitude is a technique that takes very little time but the rewards are great!
