About

In this episode, I share a surprising and emotional experience that unfolded during breakfast when a stranger overstepped boundaries with my child. It led me to reflect on the importance of trusting our instincts, setting firm boundaries, and recognizing that being "nice" isn’t always necessary. I dive into the emotions that surfaced and how I processed them, embracing the balance between heart and ego. Join me as I explore the lessons we can learn from these moments and the importance of creating safe, empowered spaces for ourselves and our families. Let’s continue the conversation on Instagram @calmandcolorful!
