Boundaries are necessary to help you protect your peace.

Even if others don't understand or like them, if you are implementing them to help you feel safe and increase your confidence - you need to hold to them for your sake.

You do not need to continue to explain your rational or stance unless you want to, because this is your life that you are responsible for, so you need to find peace and have confidence in your decision and choices.

XO,

Shannon

Over-explaining is a common habit, but comes from a place of insecurity.

The more we can have confidence in who we are and all we're becoming, the more we can show up confidently in our life and relationships.

Healthy boundaries allow us to create guardrails for our thoughts, emotions, time management, and overall habits. They help guide us towards our goals and to be who we want to be.

Boundaries are not selfish, but in fact are one of the most respectful, mature, loving things we can do for ourselves and others.

You don't need to explain yourself when it comes to your boundaries, but you do need to hold true to your values and practices to continue to be all you're meant to be.

XO,

Shannon

The way people treat us can affect our self-confidence and worth.

You are not what they say or how they treat you.

You are capable, confident, and amazing.

Everyone is fighting battles we know nothing about. The sooner we can see people's actions for what they are, acting out in misbehavior - the sooner we can heal, and offer grace, patience, and walkaway confidently in peace.

XO,

Shannon

Not all childish ways get left in our childhood.

Unfortunately, one of the things that many still experience in their adulthood is bullying.

Bullying is never ok, no matter which end you're on - giving or receiving.

Knowing your worth, that the behavior is unacceptable and really a reflection of the bully's struggles - we need to talk about healthy ways to handle and process it so it doesn't affect our confidence and growth.

Feeling inadequate is unfortunately more normal and common than we'd like to think.

What I want to encourage you to do is to make the shift from The Greatest Showman's song, "Never Enough" to Bruno Mars' song, "Just the Way You Are."

You are amazing, worthy, and wonderful.

You will always make mistakes because you're human. Focus on learning, reflecting, and growing through them. Extend the same grace to yourself that you do to others. Be your biggest fan.

XO,

Shannon

You don't have to be in the medical field to save a life.

The work medical professionals do is amazing and admirable, but you can save a life in your every day relationships by being present and supportive and walking the hard roads with people so things don't feel so heavy and they don't feel alone.

You are responsible for your life.

Others' expectations can be heavy, especially if you're a recovering people-pleaser, but you are responsible for your life.
