    Guarding Your Mental Health: 5 Strategies to Leverage the Power of Boundaries and Take Control of Your Conversations

    Wondering how to keep your conversations on track? Expectation management and the courage to set limits and boundaries is essential for navigating challenging conversations. In this episode, we consider two boundary-setting processes: proactive and reactive. Either method can foster a candid and fruitful conversation. With the proactive approach, you consider boundaries before the conversation starts. It is about creating a safe environment for ourselves and set intentions with our partner(s) before we enter into any conversation with them. In the reactive approach, you’re changing the atmosphere and setting boundaries after the conversation has started or as it is ongoing.  Join the conversation with your hosts, Kia, Jess, and Danielle, as we discuss the proactive vs. reactive ways of setting boundaries, compartmentalization, the distinction between limits and boundaries, and the power of saying “No.” We also talk about the importance of understanding why you are setting boundaries because even though boundaries are personal, they also impact our relationships. We share tips for creating healthy conversation boundaries and responding to reactive boundaries in conversations. Plus, learn the easiest way of setting expectations in a difficult conversation and the techniques for navigating a challenging conversation.   Tune in and open up with us for more insights!
