Podcasts about setting boundaries

Today's conversation is all about breaking down the barriers to hospitality and inviting others into our imperfect homes and lives. Host Heather Creekmore welcomes hospitality expert and author Abby Kuykendall to talk honestly about why so many of us fear having people over, how our obsession with perfection holds us back, and why biblical hospitality is an act of obedience, not perfection. Abby shares personal stories, practical tips, and a refreshing perspective: God doesn’t ask for Pinterest-perfect homes or Martha Stewart-level parties—He asks for our willingness and intention. The conversation touches on the lies that keep us isolated, how hospitality and body image are linked by the pressure to be “enough,” and the surprising joy that comes from letting others see our real lives, mess and all. You’ll walk away encouraged to stretch your “hospitality muscle,” start small, and remember that true community isn’t about impressing others—it’s about loving them well. Abby also shares insights and resources from her new book, Let the Biscuits Burn, packed with ways to undo perfectionism in hospitality and embrace the blessing of real connection. Key Topics The barriers and fears around inviting others into our homes Cultural messages about self-care vs. the biblical call to hospitality The difference between entertaining and true hospitality Practical first steps to open your home when you feel intimidated Lies from the enemy that keep us from building community Why showing our real, imperfect lives builds deeper relationships Links between body image issues, isolation, and hospitality Abby Kuykendall’s new book and resources for becoming more hospitable Using tools (like ChatGPT!) to help break down conversational barriers Setting healthy boundaries in hospitality Noteworthy Quotes “God doesn’t ask for perfection. He asks for that willingness and heart to be obedient.” “When you open yourselves up...this is my authentic, vulnerable self—that opens the door for others to feel comfortable being raw and intimate themselves.” “We think we want perfection, but that actually would isolate us from people even more.” Resources Let the Biscuits Burn: Cultivating Real Life Hospitality in a World Craving Connection by Abby Kuykendall[Get it wherever books are sold!

Today, I'm touching on getting over self-doubt and setting boundaries for your life and business. How I give you these points is going to be harsh and a tough pill to swallow, but it is very vital for your next steps in life. Setting boundaries is essential to self-care, yet it doesn't work if you don't accept who you are. AND, accepting who you are doesn't mean always having to EXPLAIN IT.

Join Better Dad bulletin: https://better-dad-bulletin.beehiiv.com/subscribeSubscribe to the Dynamic Daddy YT channel: https://www.youtube.com/@DynamicDaddyThis week, we're diving into the calm, cuddly, no-yelling world of gentle parenting—and asking the real question: is it actually doable… or just social media fantasy?We trace its roots from 1950s attachment theory all the way to your TikTok feed in 2025, where it's all about empathy over punishment, and connection over correction. Sounds great on paper, right? But in real life—when you're sleep-deprived, stepping on LEGOs, and your toddler just screamed “NO!” for the 9th time—does it hold up?We get honest about the gap between theory and lived experience, why gentle parenting might be more of an overcorrection than a solution, and how it impacts emotional intelligence and boundary-setting in kids (and parents, honestly).

In this episode, Kamini Wood addresses the common challenge of setting boundaries, highlighting that the discomfort experienced is normal and does not signify wrongdoing. She explains that fears of rejection, disappointing others, confrontation, or being perceived as mean often make setting boundaries difficult. This discomfort is compounded by a societal conditioning that prioritizes others' feelings over our own. Kamini emphasizes that while the person receiving a boundary may also experience discomfort or react negatively, this is their own adjustment to a change in dynamic, not a reflection of the boundary being incorrect. Setting boundaries is an act of courage and self-respect that ultimately clarifies needs, defines what works and doesn't work in a relationship, and fosters more genuine and respectful connections. She acknowledges the difficulty, having struggled with boundaries herself, but stresses the importance of understanding the "why" behind them to prevent over-functioning, overgiving, resentment, and burnout.

“Let them. The clothes, the style— it's going to change. The point is they want to be seen and they want to feel understood. You, accepting whatever from they're in that moment and rolling with the changes gives them that freedom to figure out who they truly are.” —Caitlyn Severin“What's important is, at the end of the day, what is the feeling that your daughter walks away with when she thinks about you and your relationship, not the little nitty gritty day-to-day things.” —Aliah Singh"It's not too late. This is your child and you'll hopefully have a strong adult relationship with them. This is the foundation of that." —Hannah Takajo Parenting a teenager isn't about control, it's about connection— even when connection feels impossible.If you've ever wondered why your once-chatty child now slams doors or retreats behind headphones, you're not alone.

Have you ever asked yourself? Do I show my children, through my actions, how to maintain a healthy marriage and set high standards for future relationships? How do I intentionally teach my kids lessons about money, relationships, and mental health that they aren't learning in school? How do I respond when my kids come to me with emotional struggles? If you ever thought parenting was just about getting your kids to do their homework and behave, think again. The real curriculum happens at home, in the conversations we have with our children. Today, Larry and Ethan dive into the essential life lessons that high school just doesn't teach—think managing money, building real relationships, navigating mental health, and mastering communication beyond the digital world. Along the way, you'll hear personal stories about fatherhood, learning how to treat women with respect, and the power of leading by example at home. Larry and Ethan also shine a spotlight on the importance of old-school manners, effective boundary-setting, and even the art of saving and investing early. Plus, they get candid about handling rejection, repairing relationships, and the sometimes tough but necessary skill of saying “no.” As always, they keep things light and relatable, weaving in fun anecdotes and a dash of family banter Become the best husband you can: https://bit.ly/deamarriageyoutube In this vital conversation, we dig into: Relationship Skills Aren't Taught in School: Ethan shares how Larry modeled (not just talked about!) the importance of treating women with respect—from a proper handshake to introducing himself to his girlfriend's parents, and how these “old school manners” set him apart in today's world. Larry and Ethan agree: the best lessons are caught, not taught. Money Management Early On Makes a Difference: Larry reminisces about starting Ethan and his brothers on the envelope savings system and quarterly meetings with a financial advisor from a young age. It pays off: Ethan feels more confident with money than most of his peers, recognizing the power of starting early, setting goals, and understanding critical concepts like compound interest. Create a Safe Space for Mental Health: Ethan reflects on how being able to talk openly about tough situations—whether it's heartbreak, anxiety, or just a hard day—has helped him develop emotional resilience. Larry encourages parents to model vulnerability, listen, and share stories from their own journey (even the awkward ones). Saying “No” and People Pleasing: Larry and Ethan get honest about people pleasing, time management, and learning to filter commitments. Larry's golden rule: “If it's not a hell yes, it's a no.” They discuss real-life examples, from turning down extra work projects to standing strong against peer pressure. Repairing Relationships & Healthy Conflict: Ethan shares what works in his relationship: addressing conflict calmly, not going to bed angry if possible, but also not being afraid to sleep on things when emotions run high—with the agreement to circle back and resolve it the next day. Whether you're a dad, a son, or just someone looking to live more intentionally, this conversation is packed with relatable humor, honest reflections, and practical takeaways to help you. Here's what research and observation highlight about family communication: Research shows that 86% of adolescents identify parents as their primary model for relationship skills and values. Studies found that 49% of Americans say they frequently agree to things they don't want to do to avoid disappointing others. Studies found that over 80% of teens say the way their parents communicate with each other directly affects how they approach their own romantic relationships.

Episode #1009 What do you do when trust has been broken in your relationship—especially if you were the one who caused the pain? In this episode, Doug and Chris have a raw, no-fluff conversation about what it really takes to heal after betrayal. They unpack how long is “long enough” to sit in guilt, when it's time to start setting boundaries, and why beating yourself up won't rebuild connection. This isn't about quick fixes or fake apologies—it's about doing the real work: owning your part, creating a new path forward, and protecting your self-respect while also holding space for your partner's pain. Whether you're the one who broke trust or you've been betrayed, this one's going to hit home. If you've ever found yourself stuck in the cycle of shame, anger, or not knowing how to move forward—this is the conversation you need to hear.

In this honest, raw and open episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on what's been going on behind the scenes – and why I booked a last-minute trip to Bali just 24 hours before flying out

Setting boundaries takes practice: kids need to learn this skill and most adults need to evolve it. Practically speaking, boundary-setting starts with drawing lines on our kids' behalf. In doing so, we show (more than tell) what is (and isn't!) okay for strangers, family, and friends to do and say — from comments about body changes or clothing choices to judgments about life paths. The trick is to set boundaries while still encouraging connection, because we want kids to learn about limits without walling themselves off.  Show Notes: Join our LESS AWKWARD ESSENTIALS Get your Alloy prescription today.

Ever felt gross or guilty after setting a boundary? You're not alone. In this episode, we're diving deep into why setting boundaries feels so uncomfortable—especially if you grew up as a chronic people-pleaser. I'll walk you through what a real boundary actually sounds like (hint: it's not a threat or an ultimatum), how to set them without spiraling into guilt, and how to start unlearning the toxic belief that being “nice” means sacrificing your needs.If you've ever said yes when you meant no, or felt resentful after giving too much, this one's for you.Way Too Wifey Book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FBN2NS9PWORK WITH ME: https://stan.store/respectfullygabbyFollow for more on social media: www.instagram.com/respectfullygabby www.tiktok.com/@respectfullygabby

You're probably sick of hearing about self-care, and you've surely heard a hundred times that “you have to take care of yourself.”But when parenting a struggling teen or young adult, choosing yourself doesn't always come naturally. So what does it actually look like to take care of yourself it feels like your family is in constant crisis?In today's conversation, Seth and I dig into the often-overlooked emotional labor parents carry, and why putting yourself last isn't what's best for everyone in the long run. We unpack the difference between supporting your teen and taking on their problems, and how knowing your worth can transform the way you parent, set boundaries, and show up in your life.Self-care doesn't have to be a spa day. It might look like saying no. Going for a walk. Sitting in the sun. Getting your eyebrows done.If you've ever felt resentful, overwhelmed, or unsure where your needs fit in, this one's for you.In this episode on self-care for parents, we discuss:What self-care really means (beyond the clichés) when you're raising a struggling teen or young adult;How to tell the difference between support and enmeshment;The connection between self-worth and healthy boundaries;Why parents often feel like their teen's crisis is their crisis;How to model self-respect and emotional regulation for your child;The small, simple actions that can re-ground you, even on hard days;How scheduling time for yourself can actually free up energy and time;And more!Looking for support?

It's clear people are looking for ways to protect their peace. And if the comments, DMs, and emails are any indication, they're also looking for permission to do so.That's exactly why this conversation with Katrina Jones on DEI After 5 hit such a nerve. It's one of our most-watched episodes, and it makes sense—this is the stuff so many of us have been trying to name. That quiet unraveling you feel when you're committed to the work, but the workplace doesn't care. That guilt for wanting to step back when the weight of everything is on your shoulders. That slow erosion of your well-being in places that claim to value you but rarely show it.Katrina and I talked candidly about the emotional toll of toxic work environments—especially for those of us doing work that is rooted in justice, inclusion, or lived experience. There's a unique pain that comes with trying to create change in systems that don't want to be changed.But here's what we explored that I think we all need to hear:

Conflict is part of every relationship, but how we handle it is what really matters.In the final episode of our mini-series with cognitive neuroscientist Alexis Fernandez-Preiksa, we're diving into what's actually happening in your brain during conflict, and how your patterns, reactions and even past experiences can shape the way you argue, avoid, or shut down.We unpack the difference between healthy and unhealthy conflict, how to stop reacting on autopilot, and the small communication shifts that can lead to stronger, more secure relationships.Whether you avoid conflict at all costs or tend to meet it head-on, this episode is full of practical tools to help you navigate tough conversations with more self-awareness and a little less drama.More from Alexis: @alexisfernandezpreiksaFollow us: @movewithus | @racheljdillon

Send us a textIn this episode, we tackle the often-dreaded conversation with a toxic employee and provide a practical roadmap for managers and leaders confronting challenging workplace dynamics. Listeners will learn how to approach tough dialogues by leading with facts rather than emotions, setting firm boundaries, and clearly naming the impact of toxic behaviors.

With a realistic perspective, the discussion also covers why leaders must sometimes be willing to let toxic employees go for the good of the team.

Setting Boundaries as a Young Lawyer: "And being able to discern what you can do, what you can't do, what you should do, and what you shouldn't do as you start practice." - Steve PalmerI'm sharing a lesson that stuck with me from right after my own law school days: a lawyer is not a bus. Troy and I dive into what that really means—why you don't have to stop for every client, why saying “no” can save your career, and how vital it is to set boundaries, especially when you're just getting started or when family and friends come calling for favors.We talk candidly about the challenges you face outside the classroom, like handling “can't you just…” requests, resisting the temptation to take every case (even for Aunt Joanne!), and balancing the desire to help with the realities of making a living. I draw from my own war stories and mistakes so you can avoid the same pitfalls—particularly around ethical responsibilities, pro bono work, and the constant pressure to do more than you should.Here are 3 key takeaways from the episode:Lawyers aren't obligated to take every case. Just because someone asks (even Aunt Joanne!) doesn't mean you have to say yes. Saying “no” — and setting healthy boundaries — is vital to avoid overcommitment and professional pitfalls.Beware of the “Can't You Just...” Trap. Clients (and family) will often push for free or heavily discounted legal help, asking, “Can't you just write a letter?” These situations rarely end well and can drain your time, energy, and resources.Pro bono is a choice, not an obligation. While giving back is important, the decision to do pro bono work should be yours. Don't let guilt or pressure dictate when, how, or for whom you volunteer your services.Moments00:00 Understanding Professional Ethics in Law04:29 Right to Decline Client Representation08:41 Learning to Say No in Law10:37 "Recognizing Problematic Client Cases"13:31 Doing God's Work vs. Paid Work16:59 "No Guarantees, Only Effort"22:25 "Lawyer's Time Is Valuable"24:58 Selective Pro Bono Participation26:45 Not My Area of ExpertiseSubmit your questions to www.lawyertalkpodcast.com.Recorded at Channel 511.Stephen E.

We're wrapping up our re-recorded “What CAN I Eat For…” series with a topic that brings out all the mixed feelings: dessert. Whether you're the “always say yes” mom, the “no sugar ever” mom, or somewhere in between, this episode is packed with honest conversation, personal stories, and practical ideas for navigating sweets in a culture that normalizes daily sugar overload.   We're talking about our own dessert philosophies, how we set boundaries with our kids, what we serve in our homes, and why saying “no” to sugar doesn't have to mean saying “no” to fun. If you've ever wondered how to handle birthday parties, grocery store freebies, or post-dinner dessert expectations, this one's for you.  

My book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, is OUT!You're not alone in sensing the overwhelming pressures women face today, especially those of us navigating the complexities of ADHD and perimenopause. In today's episode, both Adele Wimsett and I are feeling the weight of societal expectations and the exhaustion that comes with trying to balance it all. To celebrate the release of my new book, today's episode features a powerful discussion with my friend Adele Wimsett, exploring why so many women feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and disconnected from themselves.
