Reflection Series | Why Boundaries Feel So Scary

Most of us know we need boundaries. We just don't know why they're so hard to set. In this Reflection Series episode, Miriam and Max sit down to unpack what came up in the Hello Heart conversation with Max Jenmana — and end up going somewhere a little unexpected. They reflect on: → Whether people pleasing and perfectionism are actually the same thing → Why we extend ourselves for others but not for ourselves → What our nervous system has to do with saying no → How boundaries aren't about shutting people out — they're about protecting your capacity to let people in → Why change in relationships doesn't have to mean loss → Giving yourself grace for the boundaries you didn't know you needed yet This one moves. It starts with a question and keeps going somewhere real. Take what's useful.
