Most people believe boundaries are about others. people.

They aren’t.

Boundaries are not ultimatums, explanations, or emotional walls. 

They’re about deciding what you’re willing to carry.

In this episode, we reframe boundaries as self-responsibility, not rejection, control, or punishment.

Most boundary issues stem from unclear adults, not bad people.

Instead of making decisions, people tolerate; instead of speaking, they hint; instead of setting limits, they absorb costs.

Boundaries don’t create distance; avoidance does.
