It's one thing to talk about boundaries, but it's another thing to establish and uphold them because let’s be honest - it can be a hard thing to do.

So in this episode, I invited my friend, Diane Sanfilippo, to join me for a conversation on how to set boundaries.

Diane is a certified nutrition consultant. She’s the owner and founder of Balanced Bites Wholesome Foods, a New York Times bestselling author, and the co-host of the Full Plate Podcast, a new podcast talking about anti-diet culture, mental health, & boundaries. She’s been helping people establish boundaries for years, both in real life and on her social media platforms. 

You’ll hear us talk about:

• How Diane naturally embodies her Human Design

• How she came to help people with boundaries

• Why boundaries are a good thing

• The different levels of boundaries

• Practical tips that you can try today to set boundaries

Boundaries are a set of rules that we create for how we allow others to interact with us, in the interest of self-preservation so that we feel safe, can manage our energy, and preserve our physical, mental, and emotional health.

In this episode we chat about:

• What are boundaries

• Why we need them

• Personal anecdotes about establishing boundaries

• Where our Human Design illuminates what kinds of boundaries we might want to establish

Having a Defined Throat Center, I’m meant to share my voice and speak my truth.

While I’m very clear on my message - my points of view and approach, over the past few months I’ve been struggling with ambiguity over what tone to express it in.

• My story in detail with this struggle

• How it directly affected the creative blocks I’ve encountered

I believe that Human Design teaches us self-love and ultimately, self-trust. And when we’re able to love and trust ourselves, we’re able to embrace our uniqueness and lean into our authenticity. As a byproduct, we can naturally fall into a life of freedom, good health, and empowerment.

While not fun to experience, the past six months have turned out to be somewhat of a case study of the intersection of Functional Nutrition x Human Design.

For the past 6+ months, I’ve been suffering from skin issues. After multiple doctors’ visits, I was left feeling unseen, unheard, dismissed, and my suffering minimized.

So I put my Functional Nutrition hat back on to investigate and uncover what’s at the room of going on.

In this episode, I share:

• How this started and the discomfort and challenges it's caused

• How I’m using a Functional Nutrition approach to address it

• The added insight that Human Design has shed on why.

I also share the only modalities thus far that have brought relief, and new healing modalities that I’ve been introduced to.
