E. 4 Boundaries

Hello So Deep Peeps!  

Welcome to That’s So Deep.  This is the podcast where we try to root out loneliness one conversation at a time.  In this episode, we tackle the topic of BOUNDARIES.  This is the first of a two part episode so stay tuned for our next episode where we talk about BOUNDARIES and PEOPLE PLEASING!  

Some deep things we cover:

1. Where did Phyllis and Julie first learn about boundaries and personal space? Julie discusses what it was like growing up in a big family and sharing one bathroom.  Phyllis shares some cultural values of growing up with parents who immigrated from Hong Kong.
2. How do Phyllis and Julie define boundaries?  
3. What is a “one-sided friendship”?  And how do boundaries come into play?  
4. Phyllis comes to the defense of nurturers.  Why it is hard to have boundaries when you’re a nurturing person.
5. What are our non-negotiable boundaries?  Phyllis discusses what a non-negotiable boundary looks like surrounding conversation about her daughter’s body.

Take-aways:

1. Think about what your “non-negotiable” boundaries are and write them down.  Why are these your non-negotiables?
2. Think about what your more “flexible” boundaries are and write them down.  Why are you willing to be more flexible surrounding these boundaries?
