Title: Boundaries, Boldness & Becoming: Leading from Limits

In this heartfelt and powerful episode, Joshua sits down with early years educator and touring artist Cece Bosah to explore what it truly means to honour your boundaries in leadership, faith, and life.

Together, they unpack the internal conflict so many of us carry: the desire to be kind, the fear of causing offence, and the growing fatigue of being boundaryless. Cece shares her journey of navigating professional leadership, personal loss, therapy, and spiritual maturity—and how each has shaped her evolving understanding of healthy boundaries as an act of courage.

Why unspoken boundaries still hurt when crossed

The discomfort of saying no (and why it’s worth it)

Making peace with people being offended

Carrying others’ discomfort vs. honouring your limits

How therapy, faith, and loss shaped a boundary-led life

Leading with presence, not pressure

“Sometimes we carry the discomfort of being boundaryless—just to avoid the discomfort of someone else’s offence.”

“I was tired of carrying the discomfort.”

“Children and old people don’t filter what they need. Why must we wait until we’re old to speak up?”

“Maintaining your boundaries is a muscle—the more you use it, the more natural it becomes.”

What boundaries do you know you need, but struggle to express?

Where are you still prioritising others’ comfort over your own peace?

What would shift if you treated your personal boundaries like your job description?
