This week on the Cultivate Podcast, we’re continuing the conversation on boundaries—picking up from our previous episode, The Beauty of Boundaries: Protecting What Matters. In this Part 2, I’m joined by my friend Hailey as we dive deeper into what it looks like to set healthy boundaries in close relationships, especially with family.

We explore the emotional challenges that come with creating distance, the guilt that can follow, and the importance of protecting your peace and prioritizing what God has placed in your care. Hailey shares her personal journey and the lessons she’s learning about loving others well while also honoring her own emotional and spiritual health.

Together, we talk about how boundaries aren’t meant to push people away, but to create space for healing, clarity, and stronger relationships. We also touch on the role of compassion, self-reflection, and prayer when navigating tough family dynamics.

Whether you’re currently walking through this or simply curious about how to approach boundaries from a place of grace and wisdom, I hope this episode encourages and equips you.
