Designing Healthy Boundaries with Dr Shainna Ali Ep61
Episode 61
Thursday, 11 December, 2025
Get ready for a dose of pure sunshine, no matter what the weather's doing outside. My next guest, the radiant Dr. Shainna Ali, brings her signature blend of warmth, wisdom, and actionable insight to a powerful conversation about making mental health an intentional part of your everyday wellness practice. Together, we explore why mental wellness isn't something you "set and let," how the dimensions of health weave together to support your whole well-being, and why giving yourself grace is essential, especially when you're learning new emotional skills. Dr. Shainna also breaks down the foundations of healthy boundaries, how words can create real physical reactions, and why listening to your intuition is one of the most underrated self-care tools. We talk about how boundaries shift with the seasons of your life, what it means to grow with your needs, and how her new workbook, Designing Healthy Boundaries, offers a roadmap to understanding the most important relationship you'll ever have: the one with yourself. It's a conversation filled with heart, clarity, and the seven transformative segments of self-love. I can't wait for you to learn from her, just as I'm continuing my own journey with her latest book in hand.
