Ever look at your partner (the person you’ve built a whole life with) and think, How the hell did we get here?You’re not alone.

We’ve been taught that being selfless is the highest form of love, but all it really did was make us invisible. As Béa Victoria Albina puts it, so many of us learned to earn safety, belonging, and worth by taking care of everyone else first. That’s emotional outsourcing: when your nervous system confuses approval with survival. You can’t rest if someone’s upset, can’t sit still when there’s laundry to fold, can’t stop apologizing just to keep the peace. Sound familiar? The truth is, reclaiming yourself isn’t selfish ... it’s revolutionary. Every time you pause to breathe,...

Boundaries aren’t about being rude or pushing people away. They’re about protecting your peace and keeping your relationships healthy. When we avoid setting limits, resentment creeps in, we feel depleted, and before we know it, we’re silently keeping score. Clear boundaries give you back your time, your energy, and your confidence, so you can show up as the best version of yourself. If the thought of telling your parents or in-laws “no” makes your stomach flip, you’re not alone. Most women fear being labeled selfish or difficult, but the truth is, boundaries build trust and create...
