Does the word "boundary" make you anxy?


In a world that feels increasingly divided, boundaries might sound like more separation. (And if even the word boundary makes you a little “anxy,” as I sometimes call it, I understand.)

But what if boundaries are actually what make true and meaningful connection possible?! 😳

Your nervous system is wired for connection, Reader. As mammals, we literally require connection to survive. True fact.

And real connection — where you say what you mean, feel at ease being yourself, funny snort-laugh and all — can only happen when you feel safe.

Which is why I’m so excited about the ✨Safe to Say No✨ workshop coming up.

Safe to Say No brings together the nervous system lens that’s been so transformative for my clients, and the need I see everywhere I look these days: connection that feels safe in an increasingly polarized world.

Are you feeling the polarization? Is it impacting you personally with people you love — like it is for me?

As we head into the holiday season, those divisions can feel even closer to home. Gatherings meant to bring comfort can stir old dynamics, longing, and expectations.

And then there are the edges of authenticity right inside your most intimate relationships — where you might be showing up in ways that fit who you were five years ago, but not anymore.

It doesn’t feel good to pretend. But you don’t want to lose connection either. 😬

If you’re finding yourself in what you’re reading, I made Safe to Say No for you.

Yes, change is scary. AND you don’t have to do this alone.

In Safe to Say No, you’ll learn boundaries that naturally grow from safety, not fear. You'll learn boundaries in a way that makes real connection possible.

I can’t wait.

xo,
Heidi

PS Safe to Say No is $97 through Oct 15. (Full price is $297 USD)

Something a bit different in your inbox today. I was recently a guest on Phoenix Lessons, a podcast hosted by Amanda Stubbert and Cami Ostman about what it takes to rebuild a life after everything burns down. My episode is called Beyond Belief: Getting Religion Out of My Body, and it’s 51 minutes of conversation I didn’t expect to go quite as deep as it did. (But hey, I’m always here for that!) Near the end, Amanda and Cami asked me a question I still can’t get out of my head. I won’t spoil...

In 2025, I could feel my anxiety increasing. And like that proverbial frog in a pot of water getting hotter, as the year went on it became harder to quit patterns that were actively making things worse. On one hand, I could say my anxiety was about everything happening here in the US, and that would be true. But on the other, it was about how much I was consuming—information, news, stuff—all of which had in common one thing: scrolling on my phone. Basically, I was at the mercy of an algorithm...

I follow Aaron Parnas on Substack, a young independent journalist who's constantly reporting breaking news—usually bad. Except on Sundays when he posts "Good News Only." In my nervous system program, we do something similar. Only we don't limit it to Sundays. Glimmers and Celebrations is how we begin pretty much every meeting or session—private 1:1 coaching, groups, Wednesday Listening and Co-Regulation Labs, Nervous System Playgrounds, masterclasses… This isn't about pretending hard things...
