What You Tolerate, You Teach

Paula explores what really happens when we allow people to waste our time, ignore our boundaries, and treat us as though our needs matter less than theirs. Through personal stories about a frustrating doctor's appointment and years of struggling with confidence around her Appalachian accent, she reveals how self-respect is built through behavior—not feelings. This empowering episode examines the connection between boundaries, self-worth, and the standards we teach others through what we tolerate. Listeners will walk away with practical tools for identifying their non-negotiables and protecting their time, energy, and peace.
