Setting boundaries sounds simple, but let’s be real—it’s anything but. In this episode, we’re breaking down why boundaries matter, why they’re so flipping hard to set, and how to create ones that actually stick. We’ll dive into real-life scenarios, like handling a friend who leans on you too much, dealing with a family member who won’t respect your choices, or navigating tricky group projects at school.

You’ll learn how to figure out where boundaries are missing, what to say when someone crosses a line, and how to deal with the guilt that inevitably shows up. Plus, we’ll tackle the emotional fallout when people test your limits—and why their reaction isn’t your responsibility.

If you’re tired of feeling overextended or walked all over, this episode will help you set boundaries with clarity and confidence, no drama required.

Perfect for anyone who wants to:

• Stop feeling guilty for putting themselves first.
• Learn how to communicate boundaries without blowing up.
• Finally stop saying yes when they really mean no.

Come listen and take the first step toward reclaiming your time, energy, and peace.
