How do we set and maintain boundaries?

 

Why is it that we feel bad when we try to reinforce boundaries?

 

What even really IS a boundary? And how do they impact our values?

 

In this episode, Carla Naumburg joins me to talk about what boundaries are, aren’t, how to set them, and most importantly – how to maintain them.
