Establishing & Respecting Boundaries | Things My Mother Didn’t Tell Me

Who Run the World

Oct 6 2021 • 28 mins

In this episode, we talk about boundaries: how to establish them, how to respect them for ourselves and for others, and why they are so important in the creation and maintaining of healthy relationships.Rhea shares that one of her main obstacles in her dating/romantic life is setting boundaries, always being available to and making things easier for her date. Marilyn on the other hand talks about how her desire to be considered as a good person has made it difficult for her to establish boundaries. Through our stories we pinpoint how we can create boundaries all while being true to ourselves. Finally, we take a look at our own friendship and whether we respect each other's boundaries.

We’d love to hear from you! How do you view boundaries? Is it easy for you to establish them or to respect them in others? Write to us on sayhi@whoruntheworldpodcast.com and follow us on Instagram on @whoruntheworldpod. Also let us know what other topics you’d like us to discuss.
