A boundary is something that you can control; it's not about controlling others.
Boundaries can be tricky, but they're vital for maintaining healthy relationships and a balanced life. In this episode of 'Sober on Purpose', Jerry and Tanya tackle the sometimes thorny subject of setting and maintaining boundaries. They discuss how these invisible lines are essential for emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. Tanya shares a personal story about learning to set boundaries in her marriage, illustrating how important it is to focus on what you can control.
It's not about making others adhere to your rules; it's about establishing what works for you and respecting others' limits. Jerry adds his insights, comparing boundaries to physical markers like fences or walls, which clearly define spaces. He emphasises that emotional boundaries, while less visible, are equally crucial. The couple uses light-hearted banter to make the topic relatable and engaging, admitting their own struggles with boundary-setting.
They explore how unclear boundaries can lead to misunderstandings and resentment, using examples from family life and work scenarios. The episode doesn't shy away from the challenges of boundary-setting, but it offers practical advice on how to establish them effectively. From deciding when to serve dinner to handling conflicts without raising voices, the duo provides actionable tips for creating boundaries that support a sober lifestyle.
Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their own boundaries and consider how they impact their relationships. With humour and honesty, Jerry and Tanya make the case that boundaries are not just barriers—they're bridges to healthier interactions and a more fulfilling life. So, if you're ready to confront those pesky boundary issues head-on, this episode might just be what you need.
