In this episode of The Latitude Adjustment, Erica and Rusty dive into what happens after you stop shrinking—when boundaries collide with burnout and your old relationships no longer fit the life you’re building. Using the unforgettable metaphor of an open-air house on the water in Bocas del Toro and an eighty-year-old artist who built a pagoda one paddle trip at a time, they explore why boundaries aren’t walls but architecture, how burnout is often fueled by misplaced emotional labor, and why shared values matter more than shared history when building a new support crew. This conversation is for anyone who’s exhausted from overgiving, navigating guilt around saying no, or quietly realizing it’s time for a new map—and new people—to match their more honest way of living.
