This short bonus episode is a soulful reflection on boundaries, truth, and one of the most revolutionary plays in history—Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House.

Nora Helmer’s story reminds us that living for approval is not the same as living in truth. Beneath her perfect façade lies a woman losing herself to please everyone else. When she finally says no, it’s not rebellion—it’s rebirth.

In this episode, we explore how Nora’s “no” can inspire our own boundary work, how people-pleasing keeps us small, and why honest limits are not walls but doorways to authenticity.

Reflection Prompt:
Where in your life do you need to practice a more honest no so your yes can feel lighter, freer, and more true?

If this reflection resonates, share it with someone who needs the reminder that boundaries are acts of love.

🍋 Stay rooted in your truth, and rise in your honesty.
