The B-Word: Mastering Boundaries with Nedra Tawwab

When you think about boundaries, what emotions come up for you? Since you listen to this podcast, you probably think that 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!
