Boundaries 101: Setting Healthy Limits in Your Relationships

Listen

Description

#15 - Do you struggle with setting and communicating your boundaries? Or, maybe you notice others getting frustrated when you’re just trying to explain a project that needs to get done. Chances are, you’ve crossed a boundary you weren’t aware of. We all have boundaries, but it takes self-reflection and emotional intelligence to learn how to communicate them (it's not easy). In this episode, we talk about what boundaries are, how we react when they’re crossed, and what we can do to build better boundaries, and in turn, more trust in the workplace and at home. 

We also (finally) explain the name of the show.
