Hi! I’m leslie newman.

Better Boundaries for the
Tender ♡ Hearted Woman
Do you struggle with people-pleasing?
How often do you lie awake in the dead of night wondering, How did I get here? You give your all to everyone around you. You’re over-extended and exhausted, but you just feel so guilty saying “no”.
The good news is this: People-pleasing is a learned behavior that can be UN-learned.
I will help you exchange people-pleasing for better boundaries so you can find God-honoring ways to serve others without feeling exhausted and overwhelmed any more!
Are you a Highly Sensitive Person?
I am too! I love helping HSP Christian women who feel overwhelmed in relationships and life.
I’ll show you how to dial down your overwhelm through understanding more about your God-given wiring. I’ll share a fresh, gentle and Biblical approach to boundary-setting that works with the way you are wired.
You’ll grow in confidence and become more comfortable with setting boundaries — yes, even as a tender-hearted Christian woman!
If only boundary-setting didn’t feel so stinkin’ hard.
Especially for a recovering people-pleaser. There’s so much “Just DO it!” advice going around these days.
- Just be assertive!
- Just be fierce and unapologetic!
- Just draw the line!
Which creates a real dilemma for tender-hearted women like you and me because we are never going to be able to flip that switch, ever.
We simply aren’t wired to be assertive, fierce, unapologetic, draw-the-line kind of women.
But what if boundary-setting doesn’t have to feel so hard after all?
There is an approach to better boundaries that works for the way you are wired — an approach that’s gentle, compassionate and Biblical.
Just imagine…
Never again having to “toughen up” and draw the line, but instead showing up as your tender-hearted self — even when setting a boundary.
Saying “no” with confidence, knowing that you have given the best answer for everyone involved…including yourself.
An un-worried life, where you can have healthy boundaries and not feel so stinkin’ guilty about them.
A fresh and gentle approach to boundary-setting that works with the way you are wired. [Spoiler Alert!] It’s not the same old “Just DO it!” approach.
You’re overwhelmed in your life — and in your close relationships, too.
You’re longing for a change. (And yet, you don’t know what it is.)
Maybe you’ve even thought,
Something must be wrong with me.
You are not alone — I’ve been there too: frustrated in my relationships, exhausted from the pressures of life, and shying away from the hard questions.
When I was stuck in my people-pleasing patterns, I had a really hard time saying “no.” I went along with what others wanted…or what I thought they wanted.
I had no boundaries to keep me from doing too much, and I constantly felt drained. Without healthy boundaries, I was unable to define where I ended and someone else began. I often asked myself,
Who am I anymore?
But one day I realized Jesus had boundaries, too, and with better boundaries, I’d have a better life.
As your life coach, I can help you un-learn the people-pleasing patterns that are keeping you stuck. I’ll help you understand boundaries from a Biblical perspective. I can teach you the skills that I’ve learned along the way. You’ll feel more confident and find yourself again. You’ll keep what’s yours and let go of what’s not.
Are you ready to see how better boundaries can give you a better life?
