About this episode
This episode discusses how to stop abandoning oneself in moments of decision-making and provides tools for maintaining personal boundaries.
You have been abandoning yourself in two-second increments your whole life, and this episode is where that stops. The tools, the body check, the energetic tab audit, the weird somatic resets you can do in a bathroom stall before a hard conversation, and the actual words to use when you are right at your capacity line and your brain goes completely blank. We also talk about what it actually feels like the first few times you hold your line with someone who is used to you crossing it. Because nobody warns you about that part, and it catches everyone off guard. This is where the work gets real. Capacity Club doors close April 15th. First live call April 15th. https://saraispeer.com/capacity-club
