In this episode of Dating on High Alert, host Ilja Abbattista dives deep into a topic that’s essential for anyone navigating love, trauma, and the journey back to themselves: Boundaries.
Boundaries aren’t just about saying no or keeping people out — they’re about creating space for safety, intimacy, and self-respect. Ilja shares how trauma, ADHD, and rejection sensitivity can make setting boundaries feel almost impossible, and she offers real-world strategies and stories to help you find your own voice.
You’ll learn:
🌿 What different types of boundaries look like in dating and life
🌿 How to spot the signs when your boundaries are being tested
🌿 Why boundaries are an act of self-love — not rejection
🌿 How to create healthy, nourishing relationships where you can be fully yourself
From personal experiences to empowering insights, this episode is an invitation to remember: You’re allowed to take up space, to ask for what you need, and to be met with respect.
Tune in — and let’s reclaim the kind of love and connection that’s real, safe, and beautifully yours.
