When we fail to set boundaries and hold people accountable we feel used and mistreated right?
Well there is no time like the present to set your affairs in order boundaries-wise.
In this episode we discuss the the types of boundaries with examples and the WH questions(What is a boundary, Why set boundaries, How and When to set boundaries) because in the words of Lysa TerKeurst ‘’Boundaries are simply: Clearly stated parameters that provide a safe structure for communication and healthy relationships’’
All the best as you set boundaries and communicate them.

“In my life I have found two things of priceless worth - learning and loving. Nothing else - not fame, not power, not achievement for its own sake - can possible have the same lasting value. For when your life is over, if you can say 'I have learned' and 'I have loved,' you will also be able to say 'I have been happy.” ― Arthur C. Clarke
