Episode notes

With burn out, what we see a lot of is people wanting to leave their jobs. You know, you feel disempowered to really own and control some of these situations. So i define boundaries as needs that need to be expressed verbally or through your behavior. It's funny, this is how i know my clients follow me on social mediam, because they start using the word boundaries. I don't use the word boundary. I call it so many other things. When we say boundary, it makes it sound like we're building a fortress around ourselves. And that kind of feels scary and negative and aggressive.

1. Five signs that you might have a boundary problem.

2. Why each of us should stop pretending we’re not a needy person.

3. How to stop arguing like a lawyer – and start communicating like a kindergartener – to get what you need.

4. How to know when to end an argument, how to exit a friendship, and how to respond to passive aggressiveness.
