How Boundaries Create Internal Safety and Transform Relationships – Barb Nangle

Barb Nangle is a boundaries coach, speaker, author, and host of the Fragmented to Whole podcast. After nearly 40 years of therapy and personal development, she entered 12-step recovery at age 52, where she discovered that the real issue wasn't a lack of insight but a lack of internal safety. ‎‎Learning to build healthy boundaries became the turning point that transformed her relationships, emotional availability, and sense of self. ‎ ‎In this episode of Empowered Conversations, we talk about: ‎‎- What was missing from nearly 40 years of therapy ‎- What codependence is – and why it is misunderstood ‎- What 12-step recovery is – and how it differs from other approaches ‎- The most important mindset shift in recovery ‎- What a boundary is – and what it is not ‎- Why boundaries are so hard to set ‎- What trauma has to do with poor boundaries ‎- The difference between a boundary and a wall ‎- How to deal with guilt and shame about boundaries ‎- How to handle pushback from others ‎- Effective communication skills for setting boundaries ‎- How to know when and where to set boundaries ‎- What internal safety is – and why it matters ‎- How to begin building internal safety ‎- One small thing you can do today to start setting a boundary ‎ ‎If you are ready to stop abandoning yourself and start building boundaries that actually work – this conversation is for you. ‎ ‎Boundaries are not about keeping people out.

And it is never too late to start. ‎ ‎Connect with Barb Nangle ‎Website: https://higherpowercc.com/podcast/ ‎Free Boundary-Building Starter Kit: boundariesstarterkit.com ‎Podcast: Fragmented to Whole: Life Lessons from 12 Step Recovery ‎Boundaries Coach, Speaker, Author ‎ Like, share, follow and rate the show.
