Today, we’re diving into boundaries—aka the thing you swear you have until someone steamrolls your emotional front lawn and suddenly you’re apologizing for being upset.
Boundaries aren't just for therapists and people who use the phrase “protecting my peace” unironically. They’re for all of us—yes, even you, chronic over-explainer. Whether it’s your family, your boss, your group chat, or that one friend who treats your time like it’s an all-you-can-eat buffet, boundaries are how you stop being emotionally bankrupt by Tuesday.
In this episode, we’ll talk about what boundaries actually are (spoiler: they’re not walls), how to set them without feeling like a villain, and why saying “no” doesn’t make you a bad person—it makes you a person with a spine.
