Ep 100: How To Set Boundaries In 2026 Without Being A D!ck

19 Jan

Season 3 · Ep 100

About this episode

Boundaries are everywhere right now.

But somewhere along the way, the meaning got lost.

In this episode, I unpack why “setting boundaries” has become a buzzword — and how it’s often being used to avoid uncomfortable conversations, shut people out, or justify being unkind.

In todays episode I break down:

What boundaries actually are (and what they’re not)
The difference between setting a boundary heartfully vs hurtfully
Why “protecting your energy” isn’t a free pass to be a d!ck
How to communicate boundaries clearly without burning bridges
A simple framework to help you set boundaries with confidence, clarity, and respect

If you’ve ever said “that’s just my boundary” — or had it said to you — this episode will help you do it better.

Because real boundaries don’t push people away.

They build stronger, healthier relationships.

🎧 If this episode resonated, share it — especially with someone who’s “setting boundaries” loudly but missing the point.
