You can’t help others with an empty cup, but how does supporting your own needs first, before you support others really go? Shakara Walley went from working in the arts to working with incarcerated youth. Her journey to supporting herself and creating boundaries as a form of love, has informed her work supporting young people in what healthy relationships look like.

Join Brooke Collard and Shakara Walley as they talk about how to set boundaries, and how they can help you keep your bucket full, so you can assist family and community, especially when you have a lot of family and community responsibilities.

You have to look after your health... know what the signs are of burning out, learn what the signals are and give yourself a breather.
