May 8, 2025 | Leadership, Personal Relationships, Podcast

How to Honor Your Boundaries with More Courage – Episode 3: Setting boundaries sounds empowering—until it’s time to hold the line. Suddenly, it feels uncomfortable. Emotional. Even scary.

If you’ve ever struggled with guilt, second-guessing, or fear when it comes to holding boundaries, this episode will meet you right where you are—and help you move forward with more strength, not shame.

In this episode of the Being Relatable Podcast, we’re getting real about why honoring your boundaries feels so hard—and how to build the kind of courage that protects your peace, your energy, and your self-respect without apology. Because living for approval is exhausting. And protecting your peace is your real power.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why setting boundaries feels way harder than it sounds (and why you’re not broken)
  • The hidden fears that make honoring boundaries so uncomfortable
  • A simple framework to start holding boundaries with more clarity and confidence
  • How small wins build big courage over time
  • Why feeling uncomfortable doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong—it means you’re growing

Action Steps to Take After Listening:

  • Clarify Your Boundary Why: Anchor to what you’re protecting, not who you’re disappointing
  • Practice Micro-Boundaries: Start small to build your courage muscle
  • Script Your Boundary Language: Prepare simple statements to feel more confident
  • Normalize Discomfort: Remember—awkward doesn’t mean wrong, it means real growth is happening
