Episode 1: Why Boundaries are Essential and How to Say No with Michelle Elman

The importance of setting boundaries and saying no, is crucial to good mental health and wellness. It’s all too easy to say yes to everything, neglecting your own needs, especially if you are a people pleaser, and sometimes it feels like the easier option in the moment. However, setting and maintaining healthy boundaries will help you conserve your emotional energy and will put you in a far better mental state.
Michelle Elman, a five-board accredited life coach, author, broadcaster, public speaker and social media influencer has quickly established herself as the Queen of Boundaries. Michelle’s most recent book ‘How To Say No’ marks her debut as a children's author to which Cosmopolitan praised as one of the best books on mental health that everyone should read. It was due to the high demand from Michelle's adult book on boundaries ‘The Joy of Being Selfish’ that this manuscript even exists, highlighting that this is an area many struggle with.
Michelle shares her thoughts with host Gabby, on why so many of us are bad at boundaries, and offers some first steps on how we can start to say no respectfully with kindness and confidence. Michelle also explains why self worth and self esteem are so important when it comes to boundary setting and her reasons why she believes that boundaries are the practice of self love.
