Setting Boundaries to Empower Yourself with Elizabeth Cantu, RN, BSN, CPC

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So excited to have Elizabeth Cantu, RN on our show this week. She understands that letting go of old stories and trauma and permitting yourself to set boundaries will help you not only find your purpose but can empower you and the people around you. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Boundaries are essential to your overall personal and professional well-being. The problem with setting boundaries, frankly, begins with the word itself. Boundaries have a negative connotation. It implies a separation from others. It suggests an impermeable barrier where you don’t allow others into your circle. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Quite the opposite is true. Setting boundaries, when done properly, can be incredibly freeing and will ultimately strengthen your personal and professional relationships. A good way to think of the boundaries we are talking about is that of a chainlink fence rather than an impenetrable cement wall. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Elizabeth Cantu, RN, BSN, CPC</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Elizabeth Cantu is a Certified Professional Coach, Emergency Room Registered Nurse of 16 years. Serving Emergency Room Nurses and First responders to have inner peace, loving relationships, and have a life living on purpose. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She found herself disconnected and on the verge of total burnout due to busy long shifts and holding in the sadness and lack of support at work to process traumatic arrests and dying patients. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The inability to say NO, and set boundaries with her family, friends and supervisors left her feeling resentful and exhausted with nothing left over for self-care, family, and friends. She had difficulty relaxing due to her constant “busy body” and fast-paced, adrenaline-filled work environment. Now she helps others find their true purpose to coach and empower others. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><st
