Keep Your Dirty Shoes Out of My Mental House: A Conversation on Boundaries

It’s been a few years since our voices last filled your ears (2021, to be exact), but we’re thrilled to be back on the mics with an all-new podcast flow and format we hope you will love! In this inaugural episode of The SunDaze Journey’s “Unqualified Hour,” co-hosts Alexis Carthan and Mary-Beth Meagher offer their unfiltered, but not necessarily…ahem…qualified takes on what it means to cultivate and maintain healthy boundaries in relationships. 

Whether it’s with a partner, friend, relative, or coworker, boundaries are essential for both your mental health and the well-being of those relationships. Our hosts will debunk a few common misconceptions about boundaries (hint: they’re not selfish or insensitive), and explore how setting boundaries can enhance multiple areas of your life—from personal growth and familial dynamics, to professional success and even technology habits. 

They’ll also discuss how to leverage communication, compassion, and consistency to establish boundaries, built on reciprocal trust and mutual respect. Finally, our hosts will close out with a new segment called “Shining Light,” in which we send love to a person or platform doing the real work to embody our topic of discussion in a meaningful way. 

This week, Alexis shines a light on Nedra Glover Tawwab, licensed therapist and bestselling author of Set Boundaries, Find Peace: A Guide to Reclaiming Yourself. Mary-Beth shouts out Standing Together, a unified grassroots movement that helps nurture common ground between Palestinians and Israelis in the pursuit of equity, justice, and peace. We hope you’ll take some time to learn more about these incredible resources.
