EP263 Gracious Assertion Mastering Embedded Boundaries
Episode description
In this episode we explore the concept of embedded boundaries – the subtle yet powerful limits we set in our interactions to protect our mental and emotional well-being.

We explore various examples of embedded boundaries, such as setting limits on sensitive topics, avoiding interruptions, and managing emotional labor
