  • Are You Setting Boundaries the Right Way? & What’s Next for 'I Wonder'?
    Nov 19 2024

    In this episode, I’m sharing my thoughts on boundaries and self-care—two topics that have been life-changing for me. I’ll break down what boundaries really are (hint: they’re for you, not rules for others) and why self-care is so much more than a buzzword. I’ll also open up about how I’ve navigated these practices in my own life, especially during times of personal and family challenges.

    This episode is also a little different because I have a big announcement about the future of the I Wonder podcast and YouTube channel. I’m so excited to share my plans for creating a deeper sense of community and connection as we head into 2025.

    Join me as I take a short break to recharge and reflect, and stay tuned for new ways we can grow and connect together. Until then, stay curious and take care of yourself—you deserve it!
