Boundaries don’t have to mean conflict. In this episode, we explore what it means to set healthy limits—without shame, without apology, and without burning bridges.
Whether you're navigating boundaries with parents, romantic partners, friends, or coworkers, we break down how to set them with compassion, especially when guilt shows up. This episode is for the people who feel selfish for saying no. For the fawners. For the recovering people-pleasers.
We dive into:
✅ What boundaries really are (and what they’re not)
✅ Why setting them feels so hard if you grew up without them
✅ Boundaries with parents and the grief that may follow
✅ Boundaries in romantic relationships and how they expose emotional patterns
✅ How to sit with guilt as your nervous system adjusts
✅ Common boundaries you might need—physical, digital, emotional, conversational
✅ What to say when your boundaries are challenged
✅ How to repeat and reinforce your limits with calm clarity
✅ Journal prompts to reflect and integrate
You’ll also learn how to maintain boundaries once they’re set—because the real work often begins after you voice your needs. We’ll talk about how to follow through without overexplaining, how to respond when others forget, and how to hold steady when you’re tempted to collapse them.
This is a compassionate, trauma-informed conversation with tools you can start using today. Because real boundaries protect your peace. And you deserve relationships where both honesty and connection can coexist.
🎙️ Let this be your invitation to honor your truth—without apology.
