Boundaries Are For You
Boundaries aren't about controlling other people—they're about honoring yourself. In this episode, Jill explores why boundaries can feel so difficult, especially for people who have experienced trauma, people-pleasing, toxic relationships, or insecure attachment. She shares personal stories about learning to hold boundaries in both her marriage and professional life, explains why discomfort is often a sign that a boundary needs attention, and offers practical strategies for strengthening your "boundary muscle." If you've ever struggled to say no, felt guilty for putting yourself first, or found yourself repeatedly moving the line for others, this episode will help you begin creating healthier, more respectful relationships—starting with the one you have with yourself.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
