265. Learn to Hold Your Boundaries with Healthy Selfishness

You’ve tried to draw a boundary with your partner, boss or best friend, but they call you selfish, self-absorbed or even narcissistic! How could dare you prioritize yourself over what they want? In my new book, Boundaries Made Easy (which is dropping in just a couple of weeks on 12/5/23), I dispel the myth that holding a boundary is selfish and explain what healthy selfishness is all about. Today, I’m giving you a sneak peek into what selfishness really is and how you can learn to hold your boundaries with healthy selfishness.   ____________________________ Full blog and show notes: https://abbymedcalf.com/learn-to-hold-your-boundaries-with-healthy-selfishness  ____________________________ A great idea to stay motivated and keep your head in a positive direction is to buy some of my fabulous, inspirational merchandise.
