Hi, I'm Katie - Author & Somatic Coach

For years, I had no internal boundaries. If there was a social event, holiday gathering, or fun plan—I was saying yes. Always. I’d show up for everything, be the one making plans, keeping the peace, making sure everyone was happy… but inside? I was emotionally drained, overwhelmed, and secretly resentful.

I thought I had boundaries because I was good at keeping people at a distance emotionally. I built walls, never let people see the real me, and avoided uncomfortable conversations. But in reality? I wasn’t protecting myself—I was isolating myself.

It took me a long time to learn that:
🚨 Saying yes when I wanted to say no is self-abandonment.
🚨 Keeping emotional walls up doesn’t make you strong—it keeps you disconnected.
🚨 Boundaries aren’t about shutting people out—they’re about letting the right people in.

If this sounds familiar, you are not alone. I know how hard it can feel to say no, to set limits, to trust that your needs matter
