Not everyone should have the same level of access to you.

In this episode, I talk about what it really means to set boundaries and limits with people, without turning it into some extreme, all or nothing internet advice. This is about protecting your time, your energy, and your emotional space, while also making your relationships more meaningful.

We look at how different people belong in different levels of your life. Close friends, casual friends, shared interests, work connections, family, and how those levels can change over time. I talk about why adjustments usually come before cutting people out, and how learning this is a process, not a personality flaw.

This conversation is especially important for men who were never taught how to think about emotional access, connection, and self protection in a healthy way. For a lot of guys, the first boundary they need to set is with themselves, by admitting there are things they need to work on.

This episode is here to start conversations. With your friends. With your partner. With your family. But most importantly, with yourself.
