The B-Word: Mastering Boundaries with Nedra Tawwab

When you think about boundaries, what emotions come up for you? Since you follow me, you probably think the idea of boundaries is appropriate — that people should have the right to set them. 

But that doesn’t mean you find it easy to set boundaries. Humans, particularly women, are raised to be likable. And for a lot of people, “likable” and “boundaries” are oxymorons. 

I teach people how to set boundaries every week. But when it comes to setting them in my personal life, I squirm. Everywhere I look I hit a blind spot. 

Lucky for both of us, today’s guest is a powerhouse when it comes to understanding and teaching boundaries. Nedra Glover Tawwab is a licensed clinical social worker, and author of the New York Times bestseller “Set Boundaries, Find Peace: A Guide to Reclaiming Yourself.”

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Nedra’s definition of boundaries.
• The boundary people cross most often.
• Why women who set boundaries can be confused with being demanding, difficult, or a diva.

AND… Nedra gives me some tips to use myself!
