Hi, Reader!
Some experiences stay with us long after they have ended.
This week, I had the opportunity to facilitate Boundaries Without Guilt at The Huddle, Google Visitor Experience. The workshop reached full capacity and brought together a community willing to reflect, participate, and practice new ways of caring for themselves.
But the full room was only one part of the story.
What mattered most was the conversation we created together—about the signals our bodies send us, how difficult it can be to say no, and the guilt that sometimes appears after we set a necessary boundary.
During the workshop, we gave that experience a relatable name: the “moral hangover”—the emotional discomfort that can follow when we say no or choose to protect our well-being.
We also reminded ourselves of something important: feeling guilty does not always mean we have done something wrong. Occasionally, it simply means we are doing something different.
Setting a boundary does not mean you have stopped loving, helping, or being generous. It means including yourself in the circle of care.
Thank you to everyone who participated and to those who made this gathering possible. Your openness, thoughtful questions, and sense of humor transformed the workshop into a deeply human experience.
If you would like to carry one question with you this week, try this:
What is one small, safe, and realistic boundary that could help care for me?
We continue practicing, one seed at a time.
Warmly,
Dr. Carmen Roman
