"I'm a big fan of setting boundaries and the power of 'No.' Carley Schweet does this without as many f-bombs as I do, but the results are the same-her methods could be your path toward a calmer, happier life." -Sarah Knight, bestselling author of The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F*ck and Get Your Sh*t Together
Are you a people pleaser? Regain control over your time and values by taking a stand and setting healthy, respectful boundaries-and give your authentic self a space to thrive!
Often, feelings of anxiety and guilt keep us from saying no-but we can learn to release these negative emotions, freeing us to say yes to what we truly want. Effective boundaries make us masters of both our personal choices and the type of energy we allow into our lives, encouraging respectful relationships-and allowing us to be our most authentic selves.
Even though she held a sought-after corporate job and lived in New York City with a closet full of amazing clothes, author Carley Schweet was tired. Sleepless nights, fragile health, and overwhelming anxiety plagued her every day. It was a foggy performance that could not go on. After a radical life event, she took the bull by the horns.
It was a long, slow process, but Carley started learning to say no. By carving out time for herself, just a little at a time, she realized that a lack of boundaries and people-pleasing behavior had led her to this overworked and unhealthy place. Today, she is a Self Care Coach teaching others to avoid this trap. Boundaries with Soul showcases her step-by-step method, designed to help you return to your authentic self and focus on your true values.
About the Author: Carley Schweet once worked in the intense corporate world of New York City, spending her workdays people pleasing and her nights and weekends reeling with sleepless anxiety. She struggled with low self-worth and poor relationships. Worn down and tired, she experienced a life event that triggered a change within, and she began setting aside an hour a day just for herself.
Over the next two and a half years, she went through a process of personal transformation. She realized her issues arose from being afraid to say no-whether out of reluctance to hurt others' feelings or due to her own crippling anxiety.
So, she quit her corporate job, enrolling at and subsequently graduating from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York. Today, she is a Mindfulness-Based Life Coach living just outside of Seattle, Washington.
