Ever wondered what it takes to truly set boundaries that work? Katie Davis is here to flip the script on everything you thought you knew about them. In this enlightening episode, Katie tackles the common misconceptions around boundaries, especially within relationships affected by addiction. Are you frustrated because your boundaries seem more like walls than bridges? Katie argues that boundaries are often misunderstood as rules for others, when in fact, they're tools for personal empowerment and safety.
She shares how setting boundaries should be about protecting your peace, not controlling others. Katie's beef with boundaries stems from how they're taught and perceived—often as a means to hold others accountable, which can lead to resentment and confusion. Instead, she advocates for boundaries as a personal commitment to oneself, where the focus is on your actions rather than others' compliance.
With humour and honesty, Katie offers practical advice on how to create boundaries that foster healthier relationships rather than sever them. Whether you're dealing with betrayal or simply want to establish better dynamics, this episode is packed with insights on how to reclaim your power by setting boundaries out of love, both for yourself and those around you.
