Setting boundaries allows you to live a life based on your core values. This week, Shannon and Janine discuss getting in touch with what’s important to you as a way to help you set boundaries that ensure you’re doing the things that align with your why.

- How strange it feels sometimes to podcast without video
- The many ways it can be useful to get comfortable setting good-enough boundaries
