Boundaries are the poetry of self-respect. In this episode, we unpack why so many people get them wrong and how to finally get them right. We share the real definition of a boundary, the trap of outsourcing them to others, and how fear of rejection keeps us stuck. With personal stories and honest conversation, we show how boundaries tie directly to values, self-respect, and growth. If you’ve struggled to set limits without guilt, this episode will give you the clarity and courage to honor yourself.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
