Ep. 30: Boundaries That Actually Stick (Even with Difficult People)

boundaries boundaries unleashed podcast communication people pleasing podcast self-care Apr 28, 2025

Setting boundaries is easy… until you meet them — the difficult ones who make you second-guess yourself, spiral into guilt, or question if you’re even allowed to have needs. Sound familiar? You’re not alone, and you’re definitely not crazy.

In today’s episode of Boundaries Unleashed, I’m breaking down:

  • The #1 mistake that causes boundaries to crumble (hint: it’s not because you’re “bad at boundaries”)
  • The exact steps to create boundaries that actually stick—even with the button-pushers and guilt-trippers in your life
  • How to respond when people push back without backpedaling, blowing up, or betraying yourself

You’ll learn why your boundary is about you (not them), how to ditch the over-explaining habit once and for all, and why staying consistent is your secret weapon. Plus, I’m giving you a full game plan for handling pushback like the self-trust queen you’re becoming.

Hit play now, grab your journal (and maybe your tarot deck if you’re feeling witchy), and let’s build some boundaries that don’t budge.
