  • Setting Boundaries and Building Unshakable Confidence with Julie Lokun
    Aug 26 2025

    Do you find yourself saying “yes” to everything—only to feel drained, overwhelmed, and resentful? In this empowering episode, host Julie Lokun takes you on a personal journey of breaking free from people-pleasing and stepping into confidence by creating strong boundaries.


    For years, Julie said yes to every request, thinking it was kindness. The truth? It was fear of rejection and a craving for approval. Sound familiar? This cycle left her exhausted, overextended, and struggling with self-worth.

    In this episode, you’ll discover:


    • Why setting healthy boundaries is essential for mental health and personal growth.
    • How boundaries build confidence and create a safe space for you to thrive.
    • The impact of surrounding yourself with the right people—and why negativity from friends, family, or colleagues can sabotage your self-esteem.
    • The daily practice of confidence-building and why it’s not a one-time fix.
    • The importance of accepting compliments and embracing positivity in your relationships.

    Julie shares her insights on letting go of constant comparison, recognizing your unique gifts, and walking in confidence every single day.
