Welcome back to Rooted&Real. This is your friend, Lynda.

2
00:00:23.329 --> 00:00:28.414
Today I'll touch on boundaries. You don't owe access to everyone.

3
00:00:29.777 --> 00:00:36.926
This is a boundary nobody taught us. Look, just because someone knew the old you,

4
00:00:37.304 --> 00:00:43.091
doesn't mean they get to know the new you. Just because they're family, doesn't mean they get

5
00:00:43.185 --> 00:00:48.851
keys to your peace. Just because they're asking, doesn't mean you have to answer, okay?

6
00:00:48.918 --> 00:00:55.704
It's your time, it's your energy, it's your heart. And that's not public property.

7
00:00:56.661 --> 00:01:04.202
Always remember, "No!" is a full sentence. You don't need a PowerPoint to say no.

8
00:01:04.607 --> 00:01:13.334
You don't owe anyone an explanation for protecting your peace. No is actually a complete sentence.

9
00:01:14.589 --> 00:01:23.087
"I can't" is enough. And boundaries are not mean, they're mature. The people who get offended by

10
00:01:23.182 --> 00:01:29.158
your boundaries, were definitely benefiting from you having none. So let them be offended.

11
00:01:29.670 --> 00:01:40.165
So guard your peace like it's expensive. Because it is. You don't owe access to everyone.

12
00:01:40.327 --> 00:01:45.979
You owe yourself safety. And that's enough.
