This week's podcast features one of my favorite discussions:  Boundaries.  It can be hard to set boundaries with life-long friends, and this week's discussion explores the complications concerning caring for ourselves, and helping others.

In this episode we explore:

• 1:00  Looking for an in-person opportunity to work with me?  Consider attending my retreat!
• 4:01  A follow up conversation - "I had that hard conversation with my friend..."
• 8:59  What needs of yours did you meet by changing your plan?
• 10:57  A part of me wants to make her "wrong"
• 16:13  We can't do the hard work of waking up for someone else.
• 22:42  A script for disconnecting non-violently
• 26:58  The practice of somatic healing
• 29:00  The polarity between self-improvement and self-acceptance
• 31:55  Closing thoughts:  including 8 Practical Insights for Setting Boundaries.
