You know you need better boundaries. You've known it for a while. The problem isn't information, you could probably teach a class on why boundaries matter. The problem is that every time you try to set one, the guilt shows up right behind it like an uninvited houseguest who brought a tuna casserole and a lot of opinions. Sound familiar? Compassionate boundaries aren't about being cold, selfish, or difficult. They're about knowing where you end and someone else begins and caring enough about both to be honest. Because the most loving thing you can do in most relationships isn't to say yes to everything. It's to tell the truth about what you can and can't give. In this workshop, we'll explore why boundaries feel so hard (hint: it's not a willpower problem), what guilt is actually telling you, and how to set limits that are clear, kind, and ones you can actually stick to. We'll practice real language for real situations — no scripts that sound like a self-help book, just words that actually sound like you. This is for you if you're exhausted from saying yes when you mean no. If you over-explain every decision like you're presenting evidence in court. If you'd rather set yourself on fire than disappoint someone. Boundaries and love are not opposites. Let's practice holding both.
