1. Learn to identify where you need boundaries - many of us have no idea where boundaries are needed, because we've normalised the relationship dynamics

2. Make a plan - I take you through the exact steps of how to set yourself up for success when setting hard boundaries with people you love

3. Set the boundary - Learn effective ways to stick to your guns and not feel guilty while doing so. Identify when you're being gaslit or guilt tripped into backing down and what to do about it

4. After care - It's not enough to set the boundary. You need aftercare. Together we plan for how to set you up for success post boundary setting, so the guilt doesn't override your newfound confidence & wisdom.

It helps you

• contain your energy

• have healthy relationships with the people you love

• decide what kind of relationships you want to have

• help yourself and take ownership of your peace

There is no catch. I'm doing this because setting boundaries is HARD. Even more so when they involve the people you love. My intention with this is to share effective ways that have helped me set, follow through on and hold my boundaries. This is over 13 years of trial and error condensed into a single private podcast episode.

I get it! You listen to this awesome 40min long podcast. You feel good after it, ready to implement ALL the things. But then you forget 95% of what was said.

This podcast is designed to do the steps together. We go at your pace. Pause the audio to complete each step as we go. Chunk your time. Commit to one section at a time to make it achievable.

I also have a dot point version of the framework you can print out and put on your wall to go back to the boundary steps each time you make a new boundary.

IMPORTANT NOTE: don't just print the dot points. They make no sense without context. They're only effective after you have the podcast context.

Hi! I'm Gena, creator of Protect your Peace and host of The Recovery Room Podcast.

My zone of genius is self awareness and pattern recognition. I'm really good at seeing what's underneath the things we say and do.

I have been on a lifelong mission to understand who I am. Having lived through trauma, abuse, drug addiction and being misdiagnosed multiple times, it's been my mission to come back home to me.

My mission to feel good enough; to accept myself fully; to love myself in all my forms and help you do the same. It has required me to set and follow through on difficult boundaries.

This journey has seen me go deep into human design; completing Reiki Masters; continuous questioning of "normal societal expectations", what's "acceptable"; and gradually unmasking from a lifetime of trying to be "normal".

Prior to starting my entrepreneurial path, I taught primary & high school levels for 10 years. I learned how we learn and helped hundreds of students find their unique approach to solving problems. I bring this with me into my work here with you. We all approach things differently and I help you find what works for you.

So why should you care? You're about to listen to a life changing episode. Knowing who is sharing the information helps to give you context. I am not fully healed. I am not a guru. I am still on the path. BUT I have moved along it long enough to be able to share the wisdom I have learnt from failing forward.

I am excited for you to begin protecting your peace and come home to yourself. 🦄
