Hey everyone, it's your girl Breene Lee and welcome to the pep talk podcast where we have real, raw, relatable conversations with the pep talk you need.

You have the power to create your future with the choices that you made today.

What do you bring to the table? Baby, I am the table.

Fuck yourself a little bit more than that, ladies. Come on. Dust settles, queens don't. And don't forget,

know your worth and then attacks. Period. So I want to talk about setting boundaries and

respecting yourself enough to walk away if necessary.

Now, nobody likes to be taken advantage of.

No one likes to feel that they've been taken for a mug or they've been taken for an idiot, okay?

But being taken advantage of goes both ways.

There's a person taking advantage and is a person being taken advantage of goes both ways. There's a person taking advantage and is a person being

taken advantage of. And in no way, shape or form, do I ever, ever, ever blame the person who

is the victim of being taken advantage of. But let's imagine this. You live in a neighborhood

where there's a lot of crime. They have a lot of burglaries and everybody knows this.

You live in an area that have high burglaries, okay? What are you going to do? Are you going to sit

around and wait for the police to get hold of those criminals? Or are you going to lock up your doors,

lock up your house and protect yourself? This is the same with setting of boundaries for yourself.

We cannot control what others do to us, but we can control how far they can get to us to do the things that

they are trying to do. So what boundaries do is it keeps people from trespassing you. Boundaries,

standards keep people out. It guides them with what lines they can and can't cross

and some people don't actually realize that you can be nice and also say no like no is a complete

sentence and i'm not sure about you guys but this is one thing that i definitely notice about myself

is that i would sometimes laugh off disrespect.
