Why Boundaries Are So Hard for Women (And Why It’s Not Your Fault)

Oxygen for Women Podcast with Perry Janssen Boundaries are not hard because you are weak.They are hard because you were conditioned not to have them. In this episode, Perry explores why so many women struggle to say no, ask for what they need, or speak up without guilt. She weaves together psychology, history, culture, and nervous system science to help you understand that your difficulty with boundaries is not a personal failure — it’s an adaptation. If you’ve ever rehearsed what you wanted to say and then softened it…If you’ve ever said “I’m fine” when you weren’t…If you’ve agreed to something that drained you and later felt resentful… This conversation is for you.
