#182. The Power of Personal Boundaries

In this heartfelt solo round, Marisa Lee explores the transformational power of personal boundaries and why they are a vital part of self-care and emotional freedom.

Far from being harsh or rigid, boundaries are a way of teaching the world how to treat you. They are rooted in self-respect and clarity. Whether it’s emotional, physical, time, or digital boundaries—each one helps you reclaim your energy, honour your values, and create space for healthy, life-giving relationships.

Marisa shares real-life examples, explores what happens when boundaries are violated, and reflects on her own journey of learning to set boundaries as a way of reconnecting with her truth and her voice.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why boundaries are essential, not optional
• How boundaries are like the rules of a game—guiding fairness and flow
• The difference between walls and healthy limits
• How to spot when your boundaries have been crossed
• Practical phrases to start setting boundaries today
• Why setting boundaries is the greatest act of self-love

This episode will inspire you to pause, reflect, and make choices that protect your peace, honour your truth and rediscover your voice.
