Why You Step In When the Situation Isn’t Yours | Emotional Boundaries ep 134

In this episode of The Self Belief Podcast, Jenny explores emotional boundaries, people pleasing, and why some people instinctively step into situations that don’t belong to them.

💜 Something special is here!

If you’ve been noticing the same thoughts, reactions, or emotional patterns repeating in your life, Jenny’s free Continued Writing session may help you understand what’s happening underneath them.

During this live session, Jenny will guide you through a gentle continued writing exercise designed to help you uncover subconscious patterns, emotional responses, and automatic behaviours that are often difficult to see on your own. You don’t need any experience with continued writing, just a pen, paper, and some space to be honest with yourself.
