Welcome back to Rooted&Real. This is your friend, Lynda.
Today I'll touch on boundaries. You don't owe access to everyone.
This is a boundary nobody taught us. Look, just because someone knew the old you,
doesn't mean they get to know the new you. Just because they're family, doesn't mean they get
keys to your peace. Just because they're asking, doesn't mean you have to answer, okay?
It's your time, it's your energy, it's your heart. And that's not public property.
Always remember, "No!" is a full sentence. You don't need a PowerPoint to say no.
You don't owe anyone an explanation for protecting your peace. No is actually a complete sentence.
"I can't" is enough. And boundaries are not mean, they're mature. The people who get offended by
your boundaries, were definitely benefiting from you having none. So let them be offended.
So guard your peace like it's expensive. Because it is. You don't owe access to everyone.
You owe yourself safety. And that's enough.
