In this episode, i unpack common misconceptions about boundaries, questions that come up about boundaries, and how to set them in a healthy way. 

Proverbs 25:28 says, “Like a city whose walls are broken down is a person who lacks self-control.” Boundaries are like city walls—they protect what is valuable inside. Without them, everything that comes our way has full access, and we’re left exhausted, overextended, and maybe even resentful.
