Episode 174: How to Stop Walking on Eggshells and Create a Healthier Relationship 

If you have ever felt like you are walking on eggshells around your adult child—constantly giving but not receiving respect in return—you are not alone. Setting boundaries is one of the most common struggles parents face, but many misunderstand what boundaries actually are. Boundaries are not about controlling your child or shutting them out; they are about creating a healthier, more balanced relationship based on mutual respect. 

In this episode, we explore: 

• What boundaries really are and what they are not
• How to communicate your boundaries with clarity and kindness
• Why setting boundaries may feel uncomfortable at first, but is essential for a stronger relationship
• Real-life examples of how to set and maintain boundaries in everyday situations
• The difference between boundaries, rules, and enmeshment, and why understanding these distinctions changes the way you relate to your child

By the end of this episode, you will have a clearer understanding of how to set effective, loving boundaries without guilt, anxiety, or fear of disconnection.
