Setting boundaries is hard—but what comes after can be even harder. In episode 78, I share personal strategies and creative tools for navigating the emotional resistance that often follows healthy limits. Whether you're facing backlash from others or internal guilt, you’ll hear reflections grounded in Buddhist practice, caregiving, and creative expression—including a clip from my original song For You and Me and verses from my poetry book that helped me move through this process with compassion and clarity.
