This Feels Familiar with Minaa B.

74: Shame Isn't a Boundary: Stop Policing Normal Human Behavior


Listen Later

In this episode, Minaa B. explores a pattern she's seeing: people using morally charged, shame-based language to control others' behavior instead of exercising their own agency through boundaries.

She examines how terms like "invasive," "rude," and "offensive" are used to police normal communication behaviors rather than to develop assertiveness and boundaries.

Minaa breaks down where your agency actually lies and offers eight strategies for exercising it rather than policing behavior.
