Summary
It's effortless for kind, competent, hard-working people to say "yes" to all the demands for their time and attention. But just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.
If you're not setting healthy boundaries around your time and energy, the result can be mental and emotional depletion, burnout, and disconnection from what truly matters.
On this episode of the podcast I'm talking with Becky Morrison about how to get clear about your priorities and set healthy boundaries. Learning how to (selectively!) say "yes" only to what's most important makes amazing things happen.

| 0:07.8 | Isn't that such a beautiful song? |
| 0:23.4 | That song is called Arrow Flies and the band is Paper Plains. |
| 0:29.0 | And I thought it was like the perfect song for us today because it's really tying back to that theme of getting clear, you know, straight shot, you know |
| 0:40.8 | where you're going. |

| 1:12.5 | in my practice here at Growing Self with my own clients, also in some of the supervision |
| 1:18.8 | groups that I've been a part of. It's like people are really struggling between what they |
| 1:24.2 | feel is their own truth and their own path and all of these pressures that are |
| 1:30.2 | trying to knock them off that path. Some of those pressures are coming from the outside. |
