If you've ever felt guilty for saying no, anxious about disappointing someone, or terrified that setting a boundary would make you seem "mean," this episode is the line in the sand you've been waiting for. Boundaries aren't confrontational; they're an act of profound self-respect.

In this powerful solo episode, Christie Durham dismantles the "good girl" conditioning that teaches us to abandon ourselves for the sake of others' comfort. She drops a truth bomb you can't ignore: resentment grows where boundaries are missing. Christie gets to the root of why setting boundaries feels so uncomfortable—it's a nervous system response—and gives you a 

simple, three-step tool to start rebuilding self-trust in real-time.

This isn't just a conversation; it's a practical guide to stop negotiating your needs and start honoring yourself. This is how boundaries become embodied, and how you reclaim your iconic freedom.
