Why Setting Boundaries Without Guilt is Not Mean—It’s Love
Setting boundaries isn’t about pushing people away—it’s about protecting your inner peace, honouring your energy, and building stronger, more positive relationships. In this episode, I share how I used to say yes out of guilt, not love, and how learning to set boundaries changed everything.
You’ll hear how common myths around boundaries keep us stuck in people-pleasing cycles, and how to start building boundaries in everyday life. Whether it's guarding your time, managing family expectations, or creating emotional safety, you'll find simple ways to get started.
And most importantly, you’ll see how boundaries don’t stand alone. We build positive relationships by using boundaries alongside assertive expression and conflict resolution. Together, they help us speak up, stand strong, and show others how to treat us with care.
