EP|22 Why Setting Boundaries Is So Hard (And How to Finally Do It) | Dr. Courtney J. Williams

What happens when you’re the person everyone relies on… but you’re quietly running on empty?In this episode, @shannaferrigno sits down with licensed psychologist Dr. Courtney J. Williams, founder of @WilledByWellness, for a real conversation about boundaries — what they actually are, why so many of us struggle with them, and how learning to set them can completely change your life.They talk about the difference between boundaries and rules (spoiler: they’re not the same), how constantly people-pleasing can take a serious toll on your mental and physical health, and why so many women feel guilty the moment they try to protect their time and energy.Dr. Williams also shares her personal journey to becoming a psychologist, the powerful lessons she’s learned through caregiving, and how culture, family, and expectations shape the way we show up for others — often at the expense of ourselves.This episode is thoughtful, honest, and full of those “oh wow… I needed to hear that” moments.If you’ve ever struggled to say no, felt overwhelmed by responsibility, or wondered how to care for others without losing yourself in the process — this conversation is for you.Learn More About Dr. Courtney J.
