How to Build Stronger, Healthier Relationships Through Clear Communication of Boundaries


Listen Later

Have you ever felt overwhelmed or disrespected? Maybe you got mad at someone for something they did and were offended.  If you’ve ever experienced any of the above, you may need stronger boundaries in your life.

Setting healthy boundaries isn't always easy. You may be afraid of hurting other people’s feelings, fear the repercussions of standing up for what’s important to you, have FOMO, or it didn't feel safe in your childhood to express yourself so you stopped speaking up. Not having healthy boundaries can lead to stress, burnout, and damaged and failed relationships.

Many of us struggle with setting boundaries because we’re afraid of hurting other people’s feelings or because we fear the repercussions of standing up for what’s important to us, which can lead to stress, burnout, and damaged and failed relationships.


In today's episode, I dive into the topic of boundaries because this one word is vast and creeps into all parts of our lives whether we realize it or not. Understanding how you may have contributed to the situation and how to implement healthy boundaries can improve your mental and emotional well-being and create a more balanced life.


In this episode, you'll learn:


  • The definition of boundaries.
  • The six different types according to Nedra Glover Tawwab author of, “Set Boundaries, Find Peace.”
  • Common reasons why people fail to establish boundaries.
  • The price you might pay for not creating and maintaining boundaries. 
  • Why resentment and anger could be signs you need healthier boundaries.
  • What healthy boundaries look like. 
  • Exercises to help you become more in tune with your boundaries.
  • Tips to help you identify, communicate, and enforce your boundaries.

Join me as we explore how to set and maintain boundaries so you can find more freedom, peace, and empowerment in your life!

Much love,


Laurie
