NEW EPISODE OUT NOW – La Page Blanche

This week on Pardon Your French, we sit down with the wonderful Sarah Tyley for a conversation that’s as inspiring as it is refreshingly real.

From the grounding world of gardening to the beautifully honest pages of her books, including Spaghetti Head, Sarah shares her journey of creativity, growth, and starting again — even when you’re not quite sure where the page will take you.

We talk about: – Finding calm and purpose through gardening

– The story behind her writing

– What it really means to begin again… a blank page, a new chapter

It’s thoughtful, it’s honest, and it’s a reminder that sometimes the most beautiful things grow from the unknown.

In this episode, we dive into one of the most powerful and uncomfortable parts of personal growth: boundaries.

For many of us, especially those who naturally give, help, and show up for everyone else, boundaries can feel unfamiliar — even selfish. But learning to protect your time, energy, and emotional space is one of the biggest steps toward building a life that actually feels aligned.

We talk honestly about:

why boundaries are so difficult to set

the difference between being kind and being taken for granted

what happens when you start valuing your own energy

and how personal growth sometimes means outgrowing old patterns and relationships

If you've ever felt overwhelmed, stretched too thin, or responsible for everyone else's happiness, this conversation will resonate deeply.

Because growth isn’t always comfortable — but it is always worth it.
