Life can definitely be exhausting, especially during the holiday season, when we're facing multiple roles and responsibilities with work, family and friends. All these things are needed and are good, but when is it time to put yourself first?

The conversation of boundaries is one that spans across several aspects of life: relationships, physical health, mental health, emotional wellbeing, social life, and many more. Boundaries keep us safe and protect us.

Rarely will we make it through life without having an experience of self-doubt. For some it’s seasonal: the beginning of a new job or career path, putting yourself out there to meet new people after a move or a break-up, or other meaningful life transitions like getting married, becoming a parent, or becoming a parent to a teenager. 

For others, self-doubt creeps in right alongside depression and anxiety and takes hold of your mindset, your motivation, and the pen in your hand as you write the story of your life…

Values give us a ‘code of conduct’ to follow, and can be thought of as rules or guidelines that we live by. They are a kind of compass that guides you. Our values speak of what we believe in, what we stand for, and what is important to us.
