Maybe you’re noticing:

  • It’s difficult for you to say no to people

  • You feel guilty setting boundaries around your time or energy

  • You are emotionally drained but still, feel like you’re letting someone down when you choose to rest.

Learn how to balance your energy and feel confident expressing yourself.
