The Divine Play Podcast S2 Ep 11: The 'B' Word - Why Setting Boundaries is So Hard

In this episode, Shannon and Mirilena dive deep into the challenging yet crucial topic of boundaries. Why is the concept of boundaries so difficult for so many of us to grasp and enforce?

• Responsibility for Our Boundaries: We explore the idea that our boundaries are our own responsibility. It's up to us to set, communicate, and maintain them.
• The Importance of Healthy Relationships: Understanding and respecting boundaries is foundational to creating and maintaining healthy relationships.
• Real-Life Example: Mirilena shares a thought-provoking message she came across on Reddit, encouraging a woman to take responsibility for her own baggage.
• When Boundaries are Crossed: What happens when someone crosses your boundaries? Do you find yourself people-pleasing or going into a freeze response?
• Staying in Leadership: Learn how to stay in your own leadership and take decisive action when your boundaries are tested.
• Communication is Key: If we don’t speak up when someone crosses our boundaries, whose fault is it really? We discuss how silence can lead to misunderstandings and resentment.
• Trigger Responses: We delve into how easily we can get triggered and slip into autopilot responses like anger.

Join us for an enlightening conversation on how we can effectively set and maintain our boundaries, and in doing so, foster healthier and more respectful relationships.

Tell Us.....

Are your triggers your responsibility or someone else's???

Treat Yourself to the Good Stuff – Embracing Self-Love and Abundance

In this heartfelt episode, we delve into the profound impact of giving ourselves the good stuff – quality clothing, skincare, gifts, timeless pieces, and more. When we choose to cheapen out on ourselves, we send a subtle but powerful message that we aren’t worthy of the best, which can diminish our sense of self-love and abundance.

Join us as we explore the underlying feelings and beliefs that lead us to settle for less. What drives this behavior? Is it a lack of self-worth, fear of indulgence, or perhaps an ingrained belief that we don’t deserve more? By uncovering these emotional layers, we can begin to heal and shift towards a mindset that embraces the value and joy of treating ourselves well.

To further support this journey, we recommend the book Happy Pocket Full of Money as an enlightening resource. This book can help our community understand the importance of treating ourselves well and embracing self-love and abundance. It offers practical insights into creating a life filled with joy and prosperity by shifting our mindset and recognizing our intrinsic worth.

Our community thrives on connecting and supporting each other, and this episode is a reminder that self-love and abundance start with the choices we make for ourselves. Discover how investing in high-quality essentials not only uplifts our spirits but also fosters a mindset of abundance and self-worth. Let’s break the habit of settling for less and embrace the practice of indulging in the good stuff, because we deserve it.

Tune in and be inspired to treat yourself with the love and appreciation you truly deserve.

Welcome to another heartwarming episode of the Divine Play Podcast with your hosts Shannon Morrison and Mirilena Lee! Today, we dive deep into a simple yet transformative concept: permitting yourself to step into the shade, literally and metaphorically.

The Metaphor of Stepping into the Shade: As the summer heat blazes on, Mirilena draws a parallel between the oppressive heat and the suffocating pressures of daily life. This metaphorical “shade” becomes a powerful symbol for taking a step back and finding relief when things get overwhelming.

Handling Overwhelm and Heat in Life: We explore the all-too-relatable feeling of being trapped in stress and frustration. Shannon beautifully articulates the importance of recognizing when we need a break and how granting ourselves that permission can restore our peace.

Conflict Management: Through heartfelt anecdotes, Shannon and Mirilena discuss the art of stepping away from heated conversations. They share personal stories of how taking a moment to cool off can transform conflicts into opportunities for growth and understanding.

Communication Styles and Understanding: The conversation takes a thoughtful turn as Shannon emphasizes the significance of understanding different communication styles. By adapting our approach, we can navigate interactions more smoothly and foster deeper connections.

Practical Tools:

• Mirilena: Own your need to step into the shade. Clearly express your need for space without making the other person feel responsible for your need to step back. This act of self-care is essential for maintaining balance and clarity.
• Shannon: Embrace style flexing in communication. Approach conversations with neutrality and adaptability, understanding that different styles can coexist harmoniously. This technique can soothe tensions and enhance understanding across all areas of life.

As we wrap up this episode, we reflect on the profound impact of these simple, yet powerful practices. We invite our listeners to share their stories and experiences, fostering a community of support and empathy.

Join us next week for more insights and practical tools on living a joy-filled life. Until then, remember: You have the grace to step into the shade whenever you need it.
