Mara Glatzel, MSW is an intuitive coach, writer, and podcast host who helps perfectionists and people pleasers redefine their self-care and reclaim their sovereignty. She’s also a queer, femme wife and mother of two, recovering control freak, and a human who deeply understands the impulse to relegate her needs to the bottom of a very long to-do list in an attempt to prove her worth. Her superpower is saying what you need to hear when you need to hear it, and she is here to help you believe in yourself as much as she believes in you. In this episode, Mara and I dig into a deep and honest conversation about boundary setting—what it means, how to do it, and what boundaries look like in our real, messy lives. We also talk about self-care, and how we can better tend to our needs with the goal of keep ourselves in good working order. When it comes to the topic of how to care for myself, Mara's work is one of my biggest teachers. Her vulnerability in this conversation is so healing and helpful, and it is the absolute perfect way to wrap up the year. I can't wait for you to listen to this, and I hope you feel just as comforted by it as I did! (more…)
