This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed human.

Hello, everyone. It's your big sister Cheekies and you've reached my personal voice mailbox for the Dear Cheekies podcast. I'm here to give you a device on anything

and everything you need help with, whether you're going through a breakup or having issues

with your family, or maybe you

have a question about my personal life. Whatever the case is, I want to hear from you. Remember,

these are my thoughts and my opinions, and if you're suffering from a serious issue or hardship,

you should seek help from a qualified professional. All right. Now go ahead and leave your message

at the sound of the beep.

Hi, Cheekies. First of all, I want to say thank you so much for the work that you do.

I'm so inspired by your story and your courage and your passion for helping people.

So thank you so much. I recently was very lucky to meet you in Santa Monica,

and I can just see in your eyes you have the sweetest soul. So thank you so much for being you and for sharing yourself with us. My question is, well, I have three sisters,

and I recently started setting some boundaries with them,

calling out some behavior that I did not appreciate.

To my surprise, they turned on me and started calling me dramatic and saying that my requests

were petty and it's been very hurtful because I just was not expecting that reaction from them.

And my question is, how do you set boundaries with people close to you without internalizing

these types of narratives that you're a problem?

Thank you so much, Cheekies, and I wish you nothing but the best.

Patty, thank you so much.

I'm so glad.

I wish I could, I go to Santa Monica so much, and I wish I could know exactly who you are,
