In this transformative conversation, Wendy sits down with author and emotional resiliency coach Jennifer Febel to explore her game-changing book, How to Set Boundaries (Without Feeling Like a D*ck). Jennifer reframes boundaries not as walls that keep people out, but as pathways to deeper connection and more authentic relationships. She shares her practical three-step “Boundaries Blueprint” to help you navigate tough conversations without putting others on the defensive or casting yourself as the bad guy. With a blend of professional insight and personal experience, Jennifer unpacks the subtle but crucial differences between setting healthy boundaries and creating emotional ultimatums. She shows how intentional language patterns can radically shift how you communicate, connect, and care for yourself. If you’ve ever struggled with people-pleasing, felt guilty for saying no, or avoided conflict to keep the peace, this episode is full of practical tools to help you honor your needs without abandoning your relationships.
