You're in for a treat because we're about to talk about boundaries, not healthy boundaries, not clear boundaries, just boundaries. Now, why have I removed the adjectives? Because boundaries are just an essential thing that everybody needs, PERIOD. They are necessary for healthy relationships and critical for a healthy life. In fact, the most compassionate people in the world have compassion because they have and maintain clear boundaries. Tune in as I give loads of tips on creating boundaries. Plus, I answer this question from a caller: how can I avoid being a pushover while maintaining a respectful relationship?
