Tips for Dam Good Boundaries

You know you’ve hit rock bottom when you’re jealous of a rodent’s boundary skills.

This week on Feral by Design, Pia Williams dives into the muddy brilliance of the beaver — nature’s original boundary engineer — to find smarter, saner ways to hold your own.

Discover:

  • Why most human boundaries snap under pressure (hint: we make them too rigid)
  • How beavers build layered, flexible systems that bend instead of break
  • What "patch your leaks early" means for emotional energy
  • Why the best boundaries let the right things flow through

It's biomimicry meets modern life: science-backed strategy with a splash of self-deprecation, wrapped in one 'dam' good episode.


If this episode made you rethink your own boundaries, send it to someone who might also enjoy the food for thought.
