How to Develop Better Boundaries Episode 286

How can I know if my boundaries are healthy? Is it okay to have boundaries in the first place? I know I need boundaries, but where and how do I start? 

Do these questions sound familiar? 

As women, we have so many questions about boundaries- what they are, how we put them in place, and if it is selfish to have them- and this episode is here to help! 

Today’s show features some of the best advice I’ve ever received from experts on boundaries. I wanted to share it all with you, all in one place. 

Boundaries are there to help you (and the people you love!) thrive, and by the end of this show, you’ll see how they do just that!

Join us as we learn about: 

• Why boundaries are more than a good idea (because they’re God’s idea!) with Lysa TerKeurst 
• The difference between being approachable and being accessible with Sasha Shillcutt
• How to spot toxicity in others (and in our ourselves) with Gary Thomas

Favorite quotes:

“Boundaries are not just a good idea. They are God’s idea. He established the foundations of the world using boundaries. ”

“Where there is chaos there is usually a lack of boundaries and a need for more intentional boundaries or healthy boundaries to be put in place.”

“A boundary without a consequence is nothing but a bad suggestion.” 

“If you don’t have boundaries in your life, someone will have them for you.”

“We want to be women who are approachable. It doesn’t mean we have to be women who are always accessible.”

“I walk away from toxic people not to go binge Netflix. I walk away to invest with reliable people. I walk from toxic relationships into healthy relationships.”
