#10 Boundaries that Heal: Letting Go and Showing Up Authentically

Lighthouse Within

In this episode of Lighthouse Within, I’m diving deep into one of the most transformative practices we can embrace: setting boundaries. For many of us, learning to create and uphold boundaries with those closest to us—whether friends, family, or colleagues—can feel incredibly challenging, yet it’s one of the most liberating things we can do for our personal well-being.
I’ll be sharing my own experiences from this past year, where I’ve had to set more boundaries than ever, especially with people close to me. It was painful at first, but ultimately freeing. By stepping back from unhealthy dynamics, I’ve reconnected with how I want to show up authentically in these relationships. My therapist helped me explore what it would look like to stay true to myself, regardless of how unpredictable or challenging others may be. This shift has allowed me to let go of the need to fix or carry others’ burdens, creating space for relationships that feel mutual and supportive.
We’ll explore why boundaries are essential for healing, how they foster deeper connections, and the steps you can take to implement them in your own life. If you’ve ever felt caught in a dynamic that’s draining you or struggled with balancing your needs with those of others, this episode will offer practical insights and inspiration. I hope you enjoy!
