Emily and Meg go round two on boundaries. They discuss what they’ve learned about what boundaries they need, how to express them, and how to manage the feelings that come with that new power.

“Lack of clear boundaries are the root of all of our dysfunction.”

“We can not state our intentions, manifest our intentions until we clear some really deep behavioral patterns that are driven by the boundaries that we were taught as children in order to belong in our family as a survival mechanism.”

“Knowing your own values, trusting your intuition, not doing things out of obligation, sharing with others who have earned your trust are just a start of working with boundaries.”

“Anxiety or overthinking are some immediate signs that our boundaries are not clear - either with our self or others.”

“When my boundaries are working, I feel light and straight as an arrow.”

“When you take action, however small, that moves you out of victim mode.”

“In delivering boundaries, remember to be honest by giving them a reason, and then keep the communication to the fewest words possible.”

“Boundaries are the gateway to healthy relationships and way we take care of ourselves.”
