In this episode of "Your Yes Filled Life," host Brenda Winkle discusses the importance of setting boundaries in relationships. She shares her personal experiences, including a recent encounter in a park with her puppy, Bentley, where she missed an opportunity to communicate her boundaries. Brenda emphasizes that boundaries are not about controlling others, but expressing personal needs and limits. The episode also includes a promotion for a new moon ceremony with breathwork. Brenda ends the episode by expressing gratitude for her listeners and inviting them to share the podcast and leave a review.

Here are the takeaways...

Boundaries are not just lines on a map, they're essential tools for managing expectations and improving communication in our relationships. But setting boundaries isn't always easy. I've identified three common challenges we often face:

1. Thinking we're setting boundaries when we're actually making demands.
2. Freezing up and feeling unable to set boundaries because our nervous system perceives it as a threat.
3. Waiting too long to set boundaries, leading to conflict management instead.
