How to set boundaries and build self esteem (Part 1)

Josephine Jones OAM, 2020 Australian of the Year

When we lack self-esteem, boundaries can get blurry and difficult to navigate. Setting boundaries helps us make sense of what is and what isn’t okay. Without them, our mental health and wellbeing can be put at risk. 

Josephine Jones, OAM, Environmental Advocate and 2020 Australian of the Year is not your average environmental advocate and neither is her story. 

On this episode of the Let’s Check In Podcast, your host, Suzie McErvale, finds out about how Josie learnt to set boundaries and build self-esteem after traumatic life events and why she commits to helping people change the way people treat our coastlines.

• How to make real changes in behaviour towards littering on our coastline

• How to find happiness in nature
