Episode 2 is here, and we’re talking all about speaking up and “boundary-ing” up with family. My guest is Amy Green Smith, a certified and credentialed life coach, hypnotherapist, masterful speaker, and courageous communication expert. Amy is a long-time client of mine, and I am thrilled to share her brilliance with you!
Amy shares:
Why it might be hard to speak up around family
How people-pleasing and speaking up for yourself are closely connected
The importance of tapping into emotions to inform when you need to be an advocate for yourself
Her 3-prong approach to creating and enforcing boundaries
The art of the soft entry into difficult conversations with family and friends
Speaking up to family about respecting your child’s likes and dislikes
How to talk to other adults when their child infringes on your child’s personal space/values/beliefs
Amy's approach stands out because she emphasizes finding one's voice with kindness and thoughtfulness, even in potentially difficult conversations.
As the podcast series moves along into future episodes that focus on parenting and challenging traditional parenting techniques, I encourage you to revisit this episode for a refresher on boundary creation and advocating for your choices and your children.
