Do you often find yourself emotionally exhausted and physically drained?

Life coach and influencer @scarrednotscared Michelle Elman is here to teach you the practical side of self-love. Creating and upholding strong boundaries will teach others how to treat you, rid your life of drama and toxic relationships and allow you to love yourself and others in the best way you can.

Such a great book!

Read some men complaining on here saying book was too female centric. However this book can be for everyone! If you struggle with boundaries this book is for you!

Thought provoking

While some ideas are a little rigid for me, the general premise was sound. I'll definitely be thinking about being clearer with my boundaries in future.
