Don't betray yourself. Because if you betray yourself, eventually there's something inside of you that will start cooking.”

Spot on insight from my guest, Dr. Maria Colon-Gonzalez. 

Sometimes, saying “no” is easier said than done, right?

In theory, I know what to do, but sometimes I just feel guilty or obligated to say yes. 

And not standing firm with boundaries is a blow to self-care too. 

Listen in as I sit down to discuss boundaries and self-care in today’s episode. 

Discover key insights about:

·         how being a woman changes your approach to boundaries.

·         how to manage guilt over saying “no” to a patient.  

·         negotiating with colleagues who want more from you. 

·         defining self-care on your own terms, not what society dictates.

I promise you, Dr. Maria dives deep into these topics.
