Here’s your reminder: just because someone’s in your life… doesn’t mean they get access to all of it.
In Episode 3 of She’s Probably Talking to Other Guys, Annie dives into the idea of boundaries, selective vulnerability, and what it really means to protect your peace. Whether it’s nosy coworkers, surface-level friends, or people who’ve simply outgrown your inner circle — this episode is all about taking inventory of who gets to witness your growth up close.
We live in a world that pushes constant connection — share more, post more, update more — but sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is pull back. Not out of pettiness, but out of self-respect.
Yes, Annie addresses some workplace assumptions to…You shouldn’t have to share everything at work to be liked, respected, or seen as a team player. Keeping parts of your life private in professional settings isn’t withholding — it’s protecting your peace. Boundaries in the workplace are valid, necessary, and a form of self-care.
Annie breaks down:
— Why not everyone deserves front-row access to your personal life
— The difference between being closed off vs. having boundaries
— How to recognize when someone is showing up with genuine concern vs. looking for gossip
Whether you’re navigating friendships, dating, work relationships, or even family dynamics — this episode gives you permission to be more intentional with your emotional availability. Because protecting your peace doesn’t make you cold. It makes you clear.
You don’t owe full access to people who haven’t earned it — and your story doesn’t need to be audience-approved to be valid.
🎧 Tap in, reflect, and ask yourself: who’s sitting in the front row — and why are they still there?
