Building Boundaries

Is this you?

You know you have issues with boundaries but you're not clear why, and you're definitely not sure how to change it.

You spend too much time thinking about...

• what other people think about your homeschool
• knowing that you want more time for you but not getting it
• answering the phone when you should be eyeball-to-eyeball with your kids
• recognizing that you need more time spent on developing you but not sure how or where you can do that
• spending more time doing extracurriculars because people are asking you to participate, even though you want a quiet day at home
• giving your time away in meaningful things, but not the most important things
• fielding unsupportive questions about your homeschool choice
• feeling exhausted by conflict with your partner 
• knowing you're not showing up as you'd like with your kids but you're not sure why
• feeling guilty or ashamed at how you're showing up with your kids
• desperately wanting a separate space or time away from your kids
• feeling your kids are mistreating you or disrespecting you, but you can't quite figure out if that is just them being kids
• you feel unsupported and you don't think you can ask even the most important people in your life to help
  

Imagine if…

• you were happy doing your homeschool thing and didn't feel triggered by what other people think about your homeschool
• you had enough time for yourself
• your kids knew they shouldn't interrupt you on the phone
• you knew who you were outside the homeschool mama role
• you were intentional about your homeschool activity choices and not doing them just because everyone else is doing them
• you felt supported in your homeschool choice
• you had the energy to engage your homeschooled kids
• you knew for sure you were showing up as you want with your kids
• you didn't feel guilty or ashamed at how you're showing up with your kids
• you didn't feel your kids were mistreating you or disrespecting you
  

Straight up, if you identify with these thoughts, you need boundaries. 

I've come to understand that the energy we have for our homeschools (& lives) is directly proportional to our established boundaries:

• the boundaries we have in our relationships,
• whether that be our relationship to others or ourselves,
• and also how we're framing the vision of our homeschool.
  

I can help you develop your relationship with yourself, to nurture the nurturer, to help you build tools and practices to do that, so you can come out of layers of anxiety and overwhelm, prevent burnout again, to slow life right down so you didn't feel as overstimulated, so you could hear (& honour) your inner voice, to continue learning to trust yourself, so that you can be the nurturing, compassionate, authentic self that you are...

Here is what you need to be willing to do:

· Be authentic as you share boundary challenges in the coaching sessions.

· Dig as deep as you can.

· Block off the time on our agreed-upon-together time.

· Let me know outside the group coaching time what is or isn’t working for you.

· Let me know at the end of our time together what did or didn’t work for you & how the group coaching benefited you.
