The Boundary Decision: What Is Yours to Carry? With Alyssa Utecht
from SoundBits podcast · host Kim Groshek
What happens when being helpful turns into carrying what is not yours? In this episode of SoundBits, Kim Groshek is joined by Alyssa Utecht for a conversation about boundaries, power, nervous system safety, and the decisions we keep reopening because discomfort feels too hard to hold. Kim and Alyssa unpack: Why boundaries are not just walls, but decision lines How over-helping can take away someone else’s agency Why resentment, exhaustion, and overwhelm often point to a crossed boundary The “tennis court” model for clean responsibility How leaders, helpers, and empaths accidentally carry everyone else’s decisions Why clarity without containment becomes UN-DECISION™ The first small question to ask: “Is this mine, or is this theirs?” This episode is for anyone who has been carrying someone else’s backpack, solving problems before being asked, or staying stuck in a decision that was never fully theirs to make.
