        <itunes:author>Trish Herron</itunes:author>
        <itunes:summary>A limited series podcast for women who are tired of saying yes when they mean no.

Over five days, I guide you through a transformational journey of boundary awareness. You&#39;ll discover exactly where your boundaries are missing, who you struggle to say no to, what it&#39;s costing you, and what&#39;s possible when you finally start choosing yourself.

This isn&#39;t just another self-help podcast. This is practical, actionable work that helps you see your patterns clearly so you can finally start changing them.

Each episode includes:

* Short teaching (5-10 minutes)
* Daily challenge or exercise
* Reflection questions
* Practical tools you can use immediately

Perfect for: Women healing from divorce, recovering people-pleasers, anyone who feels exhausted from putting everyone else first, and those ready to stop just knowing about boundaries and start having them.
