211. The Danger in Setting Boundaries

Published: Nov. 15, 2023, 9:30 a.m.

With the holiday season approaching, I\u2019ve been hearing all kinds of advice about boundary setting. As a grandmother myself, I\u2019ve experienced firsthand how relationships and boundaries evolve with adult children over time. I think what\u2019s missing from most modern conversations about boundaries is how important it is to start from a place of empathy, exploration, and open communication. Boundaries should be like fences, not walls\u2014 Walls are immovable and permanent, and you can't see through them. Fences can be moved, they can be adjusted, and they have gates that let people in and out.
