695: The New Way to Look at Boundaries So They Actually Stick

This is not the first time we’re speaking about boundaries, and it won’t be the last. We love boundaries! They’re our favorite ‘B word.’ We like setting them, we like holding them, and we like helping other people set them. One thing we find interesting is that when we start the conversation about boundaries and we lovingly push our clients or our team to create, set, and hold a boundary, it can be triggering for a lot of people. That’s because it makes us reflect on toxic behaviors we have allowed or done or negative stories we have told ourselves about why we might need boundaries. 

It typically falls into two camps: you’re either a people pleaser who feels like setting a boundary lets people down, or you’re a workaholic and boundaries lead you to question your work ethic. We recently discovered an article in the Harvard Business Review that made us think about boundaries in a new way. It gave us two categories for thinking about boundaries, and we want to walk you through each of them today.
