单集简介 ...

Some conversations test your patience. Others test your character. In this call-in episode, I answer your questions about staying calm when emotions run high, setting boundaries with the people you love, handling conflict with confidence, and responding without losing yourself. We talk about how to stop overthinking your boundaries, what to say when someone asks questions you don't want to answer, how to break the cycle of the same argument with your spouse, how to handle backhanded compliments, what to do when someone complains nonstop, when a hard conversation is worth having, how to be taken seriously in a male-dominated industry, and how to be a good man without being a pushover.

  • how to stop the cycle of overthinking and not feeling guilty for having boundaries

  • and also how to have the confidence to maintain those boundaries consistently.

  • Thank you very much.

  • Have a good day.

  • When somebody is upset with your boundary, it doesn't mean that that boundary is wrong.

  • It means that it's working.

  • And how do you make sure

  • that you consistently keep up with that boundary is to know deep down that their disappointment will dissipate.

  • The people who are disappointed by your boundary are most likely the very people

  • who took advantage of you not having that boundary.

  • That's typically what it is.

  • Those are the people who are the most vocal about unhappy that you had that boundary, this isn't fair,

  • because most of the time they were used to cutting in line.

  • They were used to you not having...

  • A bouncer at the door, so to speak.

  • And so whenever you set that boundary and you set that consequence, how do you stick to it?

  • Is I need you to be able to keep your eyes and ears on the goal.

  • And that is whatever it was serving for you.

  • Don't let somebody else's emotions or somebody else's disappointment replace.

  • The very real reason why your boundary is there in the first place.
