Welcome to another heartwarming and insightful episode of A Soulful Mom's Wisdom! This month, we're diving deep into a crucial theme for all mothers: Boundaries. In this episode, Africa O. explores the importance of setting and maintaining boundaries to protect our mental and emotional well-being.


Episode Highlights:

  • Life Changing Quotes: We hear a quote by Esther Boykins about implementing boundaries to protect and honor our time.
  • Understanding Boundaries: Africa defines boundaries using insights from LA Concierge psychologists, explaining them as the lines and limits we create between ourselves and others. These boundaries help us determine what is acceptable and healthy in our relationships, protecting us both physically and psychologically.
  • Boundaries Aren't About Control: Africa emphasizes that boundaries are not about controlling others but about managing what we are willing to take part in. It's about making intentional decisions to distance or remove ourselves from relationships, spaces, media, and other influences that don't serve us.
  • Intentional Living: Africa shares her personal journey of setting boundaries and how it has been a game-changer in her life. She discusses the importance of being intentional about what we allow into our lives, as these choices impact not only us but also our loved ones, especially our children and partners.
  • Protecting Our Time: Inspired by Esther Boykin's insights, Africa talks about the significance of boundaries in protecting our time and prioritizing what truly matters. She reflects on how being intentional with our time helps us focus on activities that bring joy and fulfillment, rather than those that merely consume our time and attention.


Key Takeaways:

  • Boundaries help us protect our mental and emotional well-being.
  • Setting boundaries is about managing what we are willing to take part in, not controlling others.
  • Discipline works in tandem with being intentional.
  • Protecting our time through boundaries allows us to focus on what truly matters.

Practical Tips:

  • Spend no more than an hour on social media.
  • Manage phone usage by designating a specific time of the day for non-urgent text and phone calls
  • Exercise discipline and self-control by setting and maintaining boundaries.
  • Prioritize activities that bring joy and fulfillment.
