Being a Women Boundaries, Balance & Being Kind to Yourself

In this heartfelt follow‑up episode of The Power of Positivity Podcast, Lisa welcomes Joy back to continue their conversation—this time diving deeper into womanhood, emotional load, boundaries, and the realities of modern life. They begin by celebrating Joy’s beautifully illustrated children’s book The Day I Met Someone New, exploring why the story centres Chloe’s perspective and avoids defining the “new person” with a face—making the book universally relatable for any child navigating change.

From there, the conversation opens into an honest, funny, and deeply relatable discussion about the pressures women carry: the invisible mental load, cultural expectations, comparison culture, and the juggling act of careers, creativity, parenting, friendships, and self‑care. They reflect on burnout, perfectionism, and the myth that women must “do it all,” sharing personal stories about stress, boundaries, communication, and learning to let go of what can’t be controlled.

The episode ends with Joy’s advice to her younger self—have fun, be kind, see the world, and set healthy boundaries—and a shared reminder that women thrive when they support, uplift, and celebrate one another.
