Because let’s face it, adulting is way harder than it looks on television and we could all use a little help figuring this thing out. Each episode, show host, Sydnee Mack, explores a variety of topics that are important to Millennial women from careers, to dating, starting families (or not) , financial security and mental health. Each topic is covered through interviews with dynamic guests who are experts in their fields by way of education, scholarship, work experience and/or lived experience. Each guest offers actionable advice, tools, resources and strategies to help Millenial women create the lives that they want verses the lives that were crafted for us by our parents, haters and society. Show host, Sydnee Mack, Esq., is a Millennial lawyer, professor, entrepreneur, best-selling author and woman who uses her knowledge and experience to lead entertaining conversations with vulnerability, curiosity, compassion and humor (lots of it).

Season One Remix Episode 2, Setting Real Boundaries, is about setting sustainable, clearly defined boundaries. According to this week's special guest, boundary setting is critical for "protecting that which we are nurturing." Without establishing clearly defined boundaries, it's almost impossible for us to address what we critically need.

Summary of Today’s Show
What is a boundary?
A boundary is a very clear, proactive, communicated stance that is tied to what you critically need to fulfill your purpose and it can be a belief or an action.
The most basic function of a boundary is that it serves as protection.
Why are boundaries critical to self-care?
Boundaries are critical to self-care because there is no way to sustain addressing what you critically need if you don’t set a boundary that’s also sustainable
Why is it so difficult to set boundaries?
Setting boundaries is difficult because doing so requires courage. Courage that sometimes cannot be established on your own. Often times, finding the courage you need to establish a clearly defined boundary requires you to ask for help. This can be especially difficult if you tend to be a perfectionist and place immense amounts of pressure on yourself to not make a mistake. This is because perfectionism requires that you not share your struggles with others. Others that you may need to establish sustainable boundaries and a strategy for self-care.
What does it say about you if you have difficulty setting boundaries?
It says that you’re normal.
How do we set a boundary?
Knowing how and when to set a boundary requires you to develop a strategy around your critical self-care needs. Anana recommends evaluating your self-care needs by assessing what you need based on the seven self-care categories. The seven categories of self-care are: (1) Spiritual, (2) Emotional, (3) Artistic, (4) Economic, (5) Physical, (6) Educational, and (7) Social. An assessment of your needs should be taken EVERY DAY and your boundaries should be placed around those needs.
