#12: Boundaries, Estrangement, and Choosing Distance with Self-Respect

In this episode, we talk about boundaries, estrangement, and choosing distance with self-respect, without turning it into a rigid rulebook or a moral hierarchy. Going low-contact or no-contact isn’t a badge of healing, and staying isn’t a failure either. What matters is why you’re choosing what you’re choosing, and whether it comes from regulation rather than reaction.We explore how to make decisions based on clarity instead of guilt, how to recognize when someone is unwilling (or unable) to change, and why you don’t need to prove anything to them or to yourself, to protect your well-being. This is a nuanced conversation about agency, self-trust, and honoring your limits in a way that’s aligned with you.If you’ve ever felt torn between cutting someone off and forcing yourself to stay, this episode is for you.Evie 🌸⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok
