If you're anything like me, you know this feeling: you've done the journaling, you've listened to the episodes, you've started to understand your boundaries on paper and in your head, and then real life hits. Maybe it's a family gathering. Maybe it's a message from someone who drains you. A moment where your energy gets hijacked and you're right back in the pattern you swore you'd outgrown.

It's one thing to understand boundaries on a calm Tuesday morning, it's another to hold a boundary when you're emotionally activated or put on the spot. That's why in this episode, we're not just talking about boundaries, but how to actually live them in real time. I’ll be giving you practical tools that I call ‘boundary hacks,’ or micro tools that you can use in the moment when you need them, and then walking you through how to create your own personalized boundary roadmap.

Creating and holding boundaries can feel awkward in the moment, especially with the ones we love. The more self-regulating tools we have in our toolbelts, however, the more confidently we’ll be able to move through uncomfortable situations and the stronger our relationships will be as a result.
