Episode 20 - Boundaries Are Not Requests (What to Do When They’re Ignored)
You finally say the boundary. Calmly. Clearly. Respectfully.
And instead of understanding, you’re met with anger, defensiveness, or blame.
In this grounded conversation, Lindsay Jacobi breaks down the real work of boundaries. This isn’t about sounding confident or explaining yourself better. It’s about understanding what boundaries actually are — and how to hold them when they’re tested.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why boundaries are not requests (and why that distinction changes everything)
The hidden “invisible contracts” that keep unhealthy dynamics in place
Why anger after a boundary doesn’t mean you’re wrong — it means something shifted
The biggest mistake people make after stating a boundary (hint: over-explaining)
What to do when a boundary is crossed repeatedly
How to escalate boundaries without becoming harsh, cold, or reactive
The powerful question that reveals whether you’re protecting peace… or abandoning yourself
