In this episode of The No More Wasted Days Podcast, hosts Heather and Sara explore the essential topic of setting and maintaining personal boundaries, especially in the context of an alcohol-free lifestyle. They delve into how boundaries are crucial for personal well-being and relationships, while discussing the common challenges, like fear of conflict or desire to please others, that make setting boundaries hard. The importance of clear, kind, and honest communication when enforcing boundaries is emphasized, alongside practical tips, such as using the 'B-I-F-F' method (Brief, Informative, Friendly, and Firm) to communicate more effectively. The hosts share personal experiences and insights on overcoming the difficulties of boundary-setting, and encourage listeners to reflect on their values and non-negotiables to establish healthier boundaries. Additionally, they touch on the role of sobriety in enhancing self-awareness and the capability to maintain boundaries.
