Do you feel guilty saying “no” or do you allow others to make decisions for you and feel resentment? Many people think that lack of boundaries is an indicator of low self-esteem, but as social creatures, everyone has problems with boundaries. If you do not have the ability to set healthy boundaries in relationships you may just avoid relationships all together or just wait for someone to behave according to your rules without having to express yourself.

We all act in relationships based on our past experience by default and that is how we learned to tolerate certain behaviors through example of the adults around us when we were young. This fixed mindset will only lead to the same type of relationship patterns. By setting and expressing boundaries, you get to use your Creative Mind to create your own path and example in how you want to be treated and how you treat yourself.  

In this episode, Debra and Rob will lead you through an honest talk on boundaries in relationships and how to set boundaries to make you feel empowered.
