Boundaries and Relationships

Dear Gabby

Do you struggle to set boundaries for yourself? You are not alone! So many people who call in to Dear Gabby have people-pleasing tendencies and override their own needs because they’re afraid of hurting someone else. If this sounds like you, this episode will serve you greatly. I’ll share a 4-step method that will help you set boundaries with love, communicate more clearly, and bust through anxiety and uncertainty in relationships. This really works!

The following are helpful resources and books I mention in the episode:
