Say what now?! You’ve heard it a million times: “the heart wants what it wants.” Sure, there’s some truth to it. But let’s be real—your heart doesn’t always know what’s good for you. Sometimes it’s led by emotions, impulses, or desires that don’t align with what you really need. That’s where your gut, your intuition, and your values step in and take the reins.

Here’s the deal: if your heart is pushing you toward something that your head knows is straight-up wrong for you, don’t just dive in headfirst. Stop, take a beat, and ask yourself: “Why do I want this? What’s driving this desire?” You might be surprised by what you uncover.

Your values are your compass. They guide you when everything else feels uncertain or tempting. And your boundaries? They’re what protect those values from getting steamrolled.

Here’s the hard truth: if you throw your values and boundaries out the window just because your heart says “yes,” be prepared to own the consequences when things go south. No excuses. No victim blaming. YOU made that choice, and it’s on YOU to take responsibility.
