In today's episode, I'm talking about boundaries that grow capacity. 

Many of us grew up believing we were responsible for everyone else's emotions. We learned to stay quiet, stay polite, and keep everyone happy. Unfortunately, those patterns often show up later as burnout, resentment, or the quiet ache of always being available for everyone but ourselves.

Boundaries don't have to mean permanence or walls that never come down; they're more like fences with gates. Boundaries that grow capacity can be uncomfortable at first, but over time, that discomfort turns into peace and regrowth.

In this episode, I cover:

• How to recognize when your body is signaling the need for a boundary
• Why so many of us were conditioned to feel responsible for other people’s emotions
• How guilt, burnout & resentment often show up when boundaries are missing
• The difference between compassion and carrying someone else’s emotional load
• Why boundaries are more like fences with gates than walls or distance
• How boundaries help grow your capacity + protect your energy
• The connection between boundaries & healing (for you and your loved ones)
