How do predators decide who to target? Often, it starts with something most people don't recognize: boundary testing.
In this episode, Kailee breaks down the subtle behaviors predators, manipulators, and controlling individuals use to test limits before escalating. She explains why so many people miss these warning signs, how the "politeness trap" can put us at risk, and practical ways to recognize and respond to boundary testing before it progresses.
You'll learn how to spot red flags, understand the psychology behind compliance testing, and build confidence in enforcing your boundaries in everyday situations.
