Boundaries are extremely important to implement and hold in your relationships, but in my years as a stepmom coaching I’ve come to find that many people misunderstand what boundaries are.  Boundaries are not about controlling another person - they are about communicating your needs and preferences in regards to how people treat you. Good boundaries should get you closer to the dynamic you need in your relationship, not further away from it.  Today, Darren and I are diving into boundaries that stepmoms have submitted. You’ll hear boundary talk about:  Kids in the bedroom  Sending memes to the ex  Constant communication with the ex  Kids dropping by unannounced outside of the custody agreement   Driving the step kids to bio mom’s house to pick up things they forgot  Sitting with the ex at events Work with Jamie:  www.jamiescrimgeour.com/coaching  Join Elevate:  www.jamiescrimgeour.com/elevate  Thanks to our sponsors: LMNT | My Go To Electrolyte Drink.
