Sometimes growth isn’t loud. Sometimes it looks like saying no — without apologizing for it.

In this episode of Pace, we talk about the quiet tension many people feel when they begin setting boundaries: the guilt, the second-guessing, the fear of disappointing others.

But boundaries are not walls. They are wisdom.

If you’re learning how to protect what you’ve rediscovered about yourself — your voice, your limits, your values — this episode will help you do it with clarity and compassion.

You are allowed to protect what preserves you.
