41: Feeling Overwhelmed or Resentful? Learn How to Set Boundaries to Protect Yourself and Your Relationships

Last week on the podcast, we had my long-time mentor, friend, and colleague, Juliane Taylor Shore on to talk about her book, Setting Boundaries that Stick. Since that conversation, I have continued to think about boundaries and wanted to highlight a few takeaways from our conversation and also share some other thoughts I have been having about how boundaries are so important, especially as we navigate caring for ourselves, our families, and our relationships.

 

In this episode, we will discuss:

• How we know we need to set a boundary
• Why boundaries are an essential part of self-care and relational health for parents
• Whether our boundaries are too porous or too rigid
• The difference between a complaint, demand, request, and boundary
• The importance of taking time outs in relationships
• How boundaries protect us AND our relationships
• The grief that come up when we make requests and others aren't willing to meet our need or request
