Excited to share my first podcast interview!

I really enjoyed my conversation with Liz that covered TONS of topics.

From the show notes: "Fara & Liz sit down and discuss fear and how it relates to the stories we've been telling ourselves. How fear can shape creativity, interest in play, vulnerability and the way we move through the world, but also how we can exercise and adjust that narrative by giving yourself the time and space to explore and play and expand those borders. Having compassion and why it requires practice to undo the self-criticism; grace and a sense of humor + learning to share your world with others so there is less shame and loneliness in the experience."

Recently I was interviewed for an article on Psych Central about why boundary setting is so hard for people pleasers, and why it's so important to learn how to set them. 

This is one of my favorite topics so I was excited to have the opportunity to share my thoughts! 

I'd love to hear what you think. 

Stay tuned for part 2 next month where I talk about how to get started with boundary setting when it's new and scary.
