You press the “Do Not Disturb” button and expect peace—but they walk in anyway.

That’s what happens when we try to set boundaries in a world that’s wired to ignore them. Whether it’s hotel staff ignoring a sign or your mate ignoring your choice not to drink, the message is the same: your needs don’t matter.

In this episode, I share a story from Montenegro that exposed how broken systems train us to abandon ourselves—and how that internalised override keeps us stuck in the Liquid Lie. We’ll talk about emotional boundaries, the systems we inherited, and why alcohol becomes the go-to escape when saying “no” feels impossible.

If you’ve ever been afraid to say stop—this one’s for you.
