Bonus Episode: A One-Minute Boundary Check - Noticing Where Your Energy Is Leaking

Today’s episode is short, grounding, and practical, a one-minute pause you can return to anytime you feel drained, resentful, scattered, or quietly exhausted without knowing why.

In A One-Minute Boundary Check, Dr. Allison Sucamele guides you through a gentle self-inquiry to help you notice where your energy is leaking before burnout forces your nervous system to speak louder. Drawing on Polyvagal Theory, Jungian psychology, and boundary research, this episode explores how boundaries are not just interpersonal, but neurological, and how overriding your limits keeps your body in a chronic state of stress.

This is not journaling, confrontation, or fixing. It’s awareness. One breath. One question at a time. A way to reconnect with your body’s signals, identify quiet resistance and resentment, and make small, honest shifts that protect your energy without guilt.

Listen when you need grounding, clarity, or permission to pause, and remember: boundaries aren’t walls. They’re doors that let the right energy in. 🌿🍋
