#192: Boundaries vs. Ultimatums
Manage episode 487941000 series 3407019
In today’s episode, we’re unpacking the subtle (but important) differences between requests, boundaries, ultimatums, and dealbreakers. While these words are often used interchangeably, they carry different energies — and understanding those differences can help you communicate more clearly, hold your ground with integrity, and honour your needs without falling into patterns of control, people-pleasing, or collapse.
We’ll explore:
- Why the energy behind your words matters more than the words themselves
- What makes an ultimatum different from a boundary or dealbreaker
- The common trap of over-explaining instead of taking aligned action
- Why communication problems can't be solved in isolation
