Ep. 7 - Boundaries

Hey sexy! Today I’m diving into my first solo episode where I’m exploring Boundaries. Boundaries are a foreign area for so many people, they definitely were for me prior to 22 years old but they've been a powerful aid in allowing me to feel safe in my relationships and create safe spaces for others.

In this episode I define boundaries and look at what boundaries are and what they are not. I breakdown the 4 types of boundaries and I chat through the 4 stages of implementing boundaries.

Here is an excerpt from my show prep to help you understand how to be responsible for you, the choices that you make and the emotions that you feel.

When I say be responsible for the emotions that you feel, I don’t mean taking the blame for someone else’s bad behaviour. To explain this a bit more I’m going to talk through two sentences:

Sentence 1 “You always make me feel so angry”

vs.

Sentence 2. “When you say that to me, I feel angry”

Sentence 1 has a couple of key words the relinquish responsibility for our emotions.

“You always make” says I have no control over myself and you are responsible for how I am feeling. When someone says this to us, they are shifting the responsibility of changing their emotions to us. When we say this to someone, we are not taking responsibility for our emotions.

The process of setting boundaries that I refer to in this episode is adapted from coach Jody Moore and her podcast episode on Boundaries. I would encourage you to listen to her episode here as she answers some great questions that clarify some of the questions that may have.
