Hi everyone and welcome back to the Schneutze's podcast. This week we have Michelle Elman,

who is the author of a book I just finished. So she is a five board accredited body confidence coach,

award winning body positive activist and author. She's appeared on things like Sky News. She's been,

she has a TED talk. So she is the author of the book we're going to

talk about today. So it is about boundaries. It's called The Joy of Being Selfish and it is the

book that I did not know that I'm, I needed. So basically it's all about setting boundaries for

yourself to live your best life. And we just have a very interesting combo. I absolutely love this conversation.

And this is my first ever author that I interviewed. So how exciting. But first, I just want to

talk about our sponsors today, which is Better Help. It is an online therapy and counseling services.

So you'll notice in this podcast we talk about boundaries and

therapy is something that really helped me build boundaries. And in therapy, it's sort of

give me the self-confidence. And I started to realize like my sabotaging behavior is like people

pleasing. We talk about people pleasing a lot in this podcast. So basically doing everything for

other people so that like they like you in order to feel validated when in fact you could feel

validated in yourself. So these are all the things that I learned in therapy. If you are a people

pleaser, therapy is a very good option for you as well and you'll start living your life according

to you rather than thinking

about what everyone else thinks. So it's a very good way to like get rid of judgment because you

just start to like internalize all your behaviors. And I just think like you need to sign up. So the,
