About this listen
Episode: Boundary Bungalow Podcast — Approximations
Theme: Learning to set boundaries through gentle, progressive practice.
-
Softness is strength: Setting boundaries isn’t about aggression; it’s about kindness and gentleness.
-
Approximations: Small, manageable actions that bring you closer to a goal — the same way a beginner learns archery step by step.
-
Undoing conditioning: People-pleasing is learned over years; unlearning it takes time and compassion.
-
Low-risk practice: Start with simple “no’s” in easy contexts — e.g., refusing extra condiments or butter at a family meal.
-
Consistency builds confidence: Each small success reinforces your ability to hold larger boundaries.
-
“Everyone comes in like a lion, but really you need to approach it like a lamb.”
-
“You’re not going to hit the bullseye on your first shot — but you have to take that first shot.”
-
“It took years to become a people-pleaser; it’ll take time to unlearn it, too.”
Boundary work isn’t about being hard or perfect — it’s about showing up softly and steadily for yourself.
