Let’s get one thing straight: setting boundaries, choosing yourself, and not letting people walk all over you does not make you a villain. So why does the internet keep glamorizing boundary-setting as some chaotic, toxic phase?

In this episode, we break down the so-called “villain era” and why it’s become synonymous with empowerment — but also why that narrative is flawed. We unpack the real meaning behind putting yourself first, why self-respect isn’t a character flaw, and how we can flip the script on the guilt that comes with choosing ourselves.

It’s time to reframe the narrative: you’re not a villain — you’re just used to getting shit for setting boundaries ❤️🔪
