Navigating Boundaries: The Good, the Confusing, and the Uncomfortable

The Soul's Work Podcast

In this episode, Janice shares her personal experiences navigating boundaries – the good, the confusing, and the uncomfortable. First, she offers some personal examples to define what boundaries are and why they’re so important. Then, she shares three big lessons from her not-always-easy journey of navigating boundaries, including:

• Tips for identifying our boundaries;
• Learning how to sit in the discomfort of setting boundaries; and
• Working on the deeper, underlying obstacles (e.g., repressed anger, low sense of self-worth) to practicing boundaries.

CONTENT WARNING: This episode includes some mention of childhood trauma. Please see the show notes for where in the episode a more detailed description of how trauma can develop in early childhood is shared.
