All relationships go through cycles of harmony, disharmony, and repair. If you’ve never had healthy boundaries modeled for you, however, you likely find yourself either staying in relationships far too long, or on the flipside, cutting people off at the first sign of disharmony.

Even if you’ve done a lot of healing work, you might still be confused about who belongs where in your life. That’s why I’m introducing you to The Boundary Pyramid, a system I created and modified out of necessity, first for myself and then for my clients.

The Boundary Pyramid gives you a clear, flexible framework to place people in your life based on their behavior and level of emotional safety, rather than on love, guilt, obligation, or potential. If you want to stop asking “is this okay?” and start asking “what’s in alignment for me?”, this introduction to boundaries is the place to begin.

When we start setting boundaries, questions pop up that we don't always know how to answer. Questions like: what am I allowed to even need in my relationships? What am I allowed to ask for? And underneath that, what do I believe I deserve?

That's why, in this episode, we're going to walk through the seven basic emotional rights that every human being has available to them in any relationship if they so choose. We're not just going to name them either, we're going to reclaim them; because when you don't know your rights, you'll end up negotiating your worth.

Boundaries aren’t just about what you say ‘no’ to, they're about knowing what you have the right to say ‘yes’ to. When you prioritize your emotional rights, you're saying yes to peace, to mutual respect, to aligned relationships. Yes to being seen, valued, and treated like you matter–because you do.

This conversation is deeply personal and transformative because we’re talking about something that completely changed my life: boundaries. I don’t mean surface-level boundaries, but ones that honor your nervous system, help you stop abandoning yourself, create emotional safety, and ultimately, bring you back home to your relationship with yourself.

I’m covering what boundaries are and what they are not, signs of unhealthy boundaries in your life, and the emotions we need to learn to manage to be able to set healthy boundaries in our life.

If you feel like you’re constantly over-giving, over-functioning, or over-explaining just to keep people close, this episode is definitely for you. Remember, it’s not about perfection; it’s about alignment and it's about learning to build a life that includes you, your needs, and your truth.
