There is a story we tell about boundaries that sounds like this: some people just have them and some people do not.

Today I want to dismantle that story completely.

In this episode I make the case that boundaries are a skill, not a fixed character trait, and that the women who appear effortlessly confident at setting them have simply practiced more. I also speak directly to the guilt that arrives with the first few attempts, which is not evidence that you did something wrong but simply the sound of an unfamiliar muscle working for the first time. The capacity to hold a boundary cleanly, and to survive the discomfort on the other side, is something that accumulates into confidence through repetition.
