It’s easy to confuse kindness with overextension, especially when we feel obligated to be everything for everyone. But protecting your mental health starts with one powerful concept: boundaries.
This week’s blog explores what emotional boundaries really are, how to recognize when yours are being crossed, and why setting them is an act of self-respect—not selfishness. Whether it’s with family, friends, work, or even social media, boundaries create the space you need to feel safe, valued, and whole.
You’re allowed to say no. You’re allowed to take up space. And you’re allowed to protect your peace.
