In this episode, Kamini Wood addresses the common challenge of setting boundaries, highlighting that the discomfort experienced is normal and does not signify wrongdoing. She explains that fears of rejection, disappointing others, confrontation, or being perceived as mean often make setting boundaries difficult. This discomfort is compounded by a societal conditioning that prioritizes others' feelings over our own. Kamini emphasizes that while the person receiving a boundary may also experience discomfort or react negatively, this is their own adjustment to a change in dynamic, not a reflection of the boundary being incorrect. Setting boundaries is an act of courage and self-respect that ultimately clarifies needs, defines what works and doesn't work in a relationship, and fosters more genuine and respectful connections. She acknowledges the difficulty, having struggled with boundaries herself, but stresses the importance of understanding the "why" behind them to prevent over-functioning, overgiving, resentment, and burnout.
