025: The Hardest Boundaries to Set
Why is it so much harder to set boundaries with the people closest to us than it is at work? In this episode, I share a powerful realization from my recent conversations: most people struggle less with boundaries at work and more with boundaries at home. We’ll dive into the real reason why setting limits with family, partners, and even ourselves feels so complicated—and why the key to better boundaries isn’t just about what you say, but how clear you are before you even say it. I’ll break down: ✅ The hidden reason we struggle with setting boundaries at home ✅ The 'Instruction Manual' mistake we all make (and how to fix it) ✅ Why boundaries don’t start with communication—they start with clarity ✅ A simple formula to set boundaries from a place of confidence, not frustration If you’ve ever thought, “If I don’t do it, nobody will”—this episode is for you. Tune in now and learn how to set boundaries that actually stick!
