Episode 2476:

Lisa Merlo-Booth explains how boundaries protect our well-being, help us avoid taking on others’ negativity, and allow us to receive constructive feedback without defensiveness. By learning to distinguish between what truly matters and what isn’t ours to carry, we can create more fulfilling and respectful connections.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://lisamerlobooth.com/boundaries_in_r/

Quotes to ponder:

"Boundaries are a system of protection. They are meant to protect us as well as those around us."

"If your partner comes home in a bad mood and is snapping at everyone in the home, then they are having a bad day, keep your boundaries up, and don’t allow their bad day to become your bad day."

"For now, remember that you don’t want to keep everything out because that would be a wall, not a boundary. Nor do you want to let everything in because that would be boundary-less."
