Every relationship is like a ship. Some sail smoothly, while others drift aimlessly or sink under pressure. What makes the difference isn’t luck, it’s whether the ship is built and steered with care.
In this episode of the Untangled Mind Podcast, Piper Harris unpacks three essentials that keep relationships seaworthy: standards, boundaries, and expectations. Through stories from her practice and personal experience, Piper reveals why:
Standards are the hull — the values and integrity that keep the ship intact
Boundaries are the sails — the limits that protect energy and direction
Expectations are the navigation — the agreements that prevent drift and collision
You’ll also learn the warning signs your ship is sinking, why assumptions are so destructive, and how unspoken beliefs from trauma can sabotage even the healthiest relationships.
If your relationships feel adrift or exhausting, this episode offers clarity, structure, and a way forward.
