Words I'm sitting with: Anyone who gets upset when you draw a boundary had something to gain by you having none. 🔥Fireside Chat: Solid, Healthy Boundaries.

I felt it during one of my ayahuasca ceremonies in Colombia. After years of pushing, hustling, and controlling my way to the top of my industry, I found myself going through rock bottom on a mat in the jungle.. Forced to surrender.

Early in my career I thought that “If it’s to be, it’s up to me!” so I led with force.
