In this week’s episode, we explore the topic of boundaries — whether that may be physical or emotional. Sometimes setting boundaries is an important aspect of self-care that needs to be maintained to ensure our own safety and wellbeing. Too often, the fear of rejection prevents us from setting these boundaries. Instead, we might compromise or try to appease someone else in order to not feel like a bad person.

In this week’s episode, we explore the topic of boundaries — whether that may be physical or emotional. Sometimes setting boundaries is an important aspect of self-care that maintains our own safety and wellbeing. Too often, the fear of rejection prevents us from setting these boundaries. Instead, we might compromise our values or try to appease someone else to not feel like a bad person.

As we talk about in this episode, creating firm rules around bedtime routines or the amount of work that we take on may be harder to accomplish than we think. Most of the time, we become too rigid in these boundaries and this can lead to increased personal defences. As our personal walls grow, they become harder to penetrate and change.

When should we say ‘yes’, and when should we say ‘no’? Join us on this week’s episode as we discuss the topics of creating boundaries in the workspace, between friends, and how to stick with the lines that we draw by following through with them (no take-backs). Listen in as we explore these topics and much more if you want to learn more about boundaries.

Explicit This Human Thing Kat Ellis How do I be a human being? Isn't that what everyone's trying to figure out? On This Human Thing, Kat (that's me writing this description right now) and friends share ideas and stories regarding our human experiences. Just some laid back convos about spirituality, psychology, science, health, relationships, and how to make the most out of our time on this planet. Nothing is off-topic because everything is a part of the human experience. We question reality, dive into our personal journeys, and what we've learned from teachers and friends. I've found that good conversations are one of the things that make me feel the most alive and connected. I wanted to share these conversations to normalize the fact that no one really knows anything and we're all just trying to figure it out. We go deep, but keep it lighthearted. And above all, the one thing we really want from life is deep and authentic connection to ourselves and others. So let's go there.. We're all in this human thing together.
