Is it mean to live with boundaries? Do they keep you walled off from other people? Nope! Our guest today Nedra Tawwab says, "Boundaries are expectations and needs that help you feel safe and comfortable in your relationships." Sounds like they're pretty essential, huh? Nedra's a therapist who shares (with her 1.4 million Instagram followers @nedratawwab) how to clearly communicate your needs and expectations so you can create healthy, loving relationships. Today Nedra and Emily talk about ways to communicate your needs more clearly to your partner, how to raise kids with healthy boundaries, and how to honor yourself through it all.

(Need a boundaries refresher? Go back to Episode 49, aka "Calm Your Anxiety with Better Boundaries," and take a listen!)
