"Women Setting Healthy Boundaries"


Does this sound familiar? 

* People Tell You What You Should Be Doing.
* You Do All You Can to Keep Relationships Strong and Lasting.
* Family and Even Friends Think You Are Supposed to Be There for Them - Always.
* Others Take Advantage of Your Kindness.
* You Give, Give and Give of Yourself.


​BUT the one person who is left out of your Unconditional Giving is -YOU



​You no longer have to keep your goals and dreams on the back burner for the sake of 
"doing the right thing" or "doing what's best for ..."

You Can Do What You Need To and Still Have YOUR LIFE
even if 
you are a caregiver
you are still looking out for your very grown children
you are everybody's "go-to" person
you work or own a business
... you are just full, and sick and tired of being sick and tired!
I have lived that life of juggle and overwhelm. I know what it's like to have people pulling on you from different directions. People expect you to be there for them. Some truly do need you. You put your life on hold - one more time. Then, again, you think about what you would rather be doing, only to put it all off again. When does it stop?!

The Juggle and Overwhelm STOP WHEN YOU MAKE IT STOP!

I have lived the pain of too much of everything else, for everybody else while my own desires and even wellbeing were left unattended. How did I turn it all around? 

I MADE A DECISION.
I STOPPED DOING WHAT I WAS DOING.      
​I MADE A PLAN FOR THE LIFE I WANT.

~ Carol
ONCE I MADE A DECISION TO TAKE BACK MY LIFE, EVERY SINGLE THING AND PERSON THAT MATTERS, FELL INTO PLACE ... WITH THE RIGHT PLAN AND THE RIGHT ACTION STEPS.

THIS, CAN BE YOU TOO.

​
In fact, you can read about one of my experiences below. I wrote about how coming to terms with my role as caregiver changed me and, as a result, I was able to change my life!  You can read what I shared in my article, "Finding Peace through Service and Surrender," that was published in Daily Word.

In the article, "Finding Peace through Service and Surrender," Carol shares her personal journey as a caregiver. She describes how wishing her circumstances were different did nothing to help. It was only when she surrendered to what things actually were was she ready and able to make the changes she wanted all along.  ​

Here's what DM Sudduth had to say about working with me ...
“I’ve struggled for years, and Carol helped me see the situation in a different light... Carol was able to take a step-by-step approach and assigned homework and deadlines to achieve the desired outcome... Family issues are complicated and emotional. Carol provided skills to help work through the complexity of family dynamics. … Life Changing! Carol is very positive and encouraging. She looks at the whole person and strives to get to know the whole person she’s trying to help.”

- DM Sudduth
It seems a Woman's "Job" is never done but, believe me, it can be balanced. You do not have live as though you are living for everybody but YOU.

 If you are ready to say "Yes" to you, you can start living your life, on your terms, … You can ...

  • Set those Boundaries Where and When You Need Them
          ... so that you will have the time you need to do the things you want - build the life that works for your peace of mind. You really can focus on the bigger dreams - like travel, the career goals, the relationships and whatever your other big goals are. But you can also just create a life that is without unnecessary headache and overwhelm because you are doing too much and maybe for too many people. 
  • Make your Self-Care a Priority 
          ... so that there is space for you in your own life, making it possible to live it on your own terms and not if or when there is space after other people's priorities. Self-care is a matter of healthcare.
  • Create Plans for a Fulfilling Life and Take Your Life Back
          ... so that you are in control of how you spend your time, whether or not you follow the goals, dreams and desires you have for your own life should be your choice if you decide not to pursue them and not because there is nothing left after you have taken on everything or everybody else.
