110: How Implementing Boundaries Can Improve any Relationship with Melissa Salmeron

Did you ever feel forced to do something uncomfortable because you do not want to offend that person? Do you struggle with saying "no" even when you know you should? There is so much pressure on us as parents, especially the moms reading this, to be everything and do everything for everyone. And we know the answer is to set more boundaries, to actually say no when we need to so that we have more time and energy for the things that truly matter to us. But it's not actually that simple, is it? The art of saying no is complicated and often it's an inside job. ​ So, what is a healthy boundary and what is not? How can we set a personal boundary that would not come off as being arrogant or rude? ​ For this week's episode on The Balanced Parent Podcast, we are going to dig deep into healthy boundary setting and how it can improve any relationship that matters to us. And to help me in this conversation, I brought in my friend and colleague, Melissa Salmeron. She is a Certified Master Life Coach and helps other moms give themselves the space they need to defeat overwhelm, step into their power, and show up as their true selves through the power of the CARE Method.

Parenting is often lived in the extremes. It’s either great joy or chaotic overwhelm. One moment you’re nailing it and the next you’re losing your cool. I want to help you find your way to the messy middle, to a place of balance. You see, balance is a verb, not a state of being. It is a thing you DO, not a thing you ARE. It’s an action, a process, a series of micro-corrections that we make, each and every day, to keep ourselves feeling centered. We are never truly balanced, we are engaged in the process of balancing.Hello, I’m Dr. Laura Froyen, and this is the Balancing Parenting Podcast, where overwhelmed, stressed-out, and disconnected parents go to find tools, mindset shifts, and practices to help them stop yelling at the people they love and start connecting all delivered with heaping doses of grace and compassion. Join me in conversations that will help you get clear on your goals and values and start showing up in your parenting, your relationships, YOUR LIFE, with open-hearted authenticity and balance.
