Episode Synopsis

For most of my life, I believed boundaries were rejection in disguise—retaliation, punishment, abandonment waiting to happen. I didn’t know that boundaries could be kind. Or that they could protect not just me, but the relationships I cared about most.In this episode of Xero Meaning, we trace the origin of the word “boundary” and the deeper story it holds—not as a wall to keep people out, but as a marked passage for love, safety, and self-respect to enter.From chaotic childhoods and misunderstood silence to the wild resistance of a younger self rebelling against invisible chains, I take you into the lived experience of reclaiming my right to take up space—without apology.This isn’t just an episode. It’s a map for those who are still learning to stop vanishing in order to be loved.🛍️ Explore journals, gifts, and more at sconeandscribe.com 🌹 Join us at Our Candy Rose, August 15th in Kansas City 🎙️ Listen now and subscribe to Xero Meaning wherever you get your podcasts.Tagline: We unravel words.
