Boundaries Without Armor: How to Set Limits Without Hardness


Listen Later

What if boundaries were never meant to feel hard, sharp, or defensive?

In this Week 3 episode of the Living Unmasked series, Boundaries Without Armor, therapist and coach Marybeth Hrim explores how to set clear, healthy boundaries without shutting down, toughening up, or disconnecting from yourself.

This episode goes beyond boundary scripts and self-help clichés, offering a nervous-system-informed, embodied approach to boundaries rooted in self-connection rather than protection. You’ll learn why many of us associate boundaries with guilt or conflict, how armor develops as a survival strategy, and what it looks like to create boundaries that feel calm, grounded, and sustainable.

If you’ve ever struggled with saying no, felt exhausted by holding firm limits, or worried that boundaries mean becoming cold or distant—this conversation is for you.

✨ In this episode, we explore:

  • Why boundaries often feel hard or confrontational
  • The difference between armor and embodied boundaries
  • How to recognize boundaries through the body, not just language
  • What soft boundaries actually look and feel like
  • How to stay connected to yourself while staying clear with others

This episode is part of the Living Unmasked journey—supporting you in living from the inside out with clarity, self-trust, and compassion.
