Do you ever wonder what love feels like when it’s healthy, balanced, and free of self-abandonment? In this episode, we explore what love is truly like with boundaries — and how protecting your sense of self allows deeper connection, respect, and peace in relationships.

Without boundaries, love can easily turn into overgiving, resentment, or enmeshment. You start to lose yourself in the process of caring for someone else. But when boundaries are present, love becomes sustainable. It’s no longer about sacrificing your needs to keep the peace — it’s about creating a relationship where both people can thrive.

We’ll break down why boundaries are essential for trust and intimacy, how to recognise when your empathy has crossed into self-neglect, and practical ways to communicate and uphold your boundaries with clarity and compassion.

This episode is a reminder that love and boundaries are not opposites. Boundaries don’t close love off — they protect it. And when you learn to love without abandoning yourself, you create the kind of connection that is safe, lasting and deeply fulfilling.
