Welcome to Lit in a Nutshell, where we unpack life-changing books into simple, powerful lessons you can apply today.

In this episode, we’re diving into a book that has helped millions reclaim their peace, protect their time, and build healthier relationships: Boundaries by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend.

Do you ever feel overwhelmed, stretched too thin, or responsible for everyone’s problems but your own? Maybe you say "yes" when you should say "no"—and end up exhausted, resentful, or burnt out. This book speaks directly to that struggle.

Boundaries is about understanding where you end and someone else begins. It’s about learning that saying “no” isn’t selfish—it’s essential. And it’s about creating emotional, physical, spiritual, and relational limits that bring freedom, not guilt.

In this episode, we’ll explore why boundaries matter, the warning signs that yours might be broken, and how to start setting healthy limits in every area of your life—from family and friendships to work and faith.

Get ready to find your “no,” protect your “yes,” and start living with clarity and confidence.

Let’s get into Boundaries.
