Recommended book:
"Set Boundaries, Find Peace" by Nedra Glover Tawwab
Healthy boundaries. We all know we should have them--in order to achieve work/life balance, cope with toxic people, and enjoy rewarding relationships with partners, friends, and family. But what do "healthy boundaries" really mean--and how can we successfully express our needs, say "no," and be assertive without offending others?

Inside Out and Emotional Regulation: Learning to Master your Console
Pixar’s Inside Out brilliantly animates the inner workings of the mind, showcasing the chaos created by unconscious and conscious processes, including ANTs (automatic negative thoughts). While these thoughts can cause struggles, we have the power to "take control of the console" by mastering emotional regulation.
Understanding emotional regulation is one thing; practicing it is another. Emotions are constantly in motion, often appearing out of nowhere and disrupting our ability to cope or connect meaningfully. Developing strategies to create enough observational distance to "get a grip" is key to navigating life with resilience and intention.
