We talk a lot about boundaries. How to set them. How to hold them. How to “protect our peace” with them.
And if you’ve been in any self-development space for more than five minutes, you’ve probably heard that boundaries are the key to self-respect, self-trust, and maintaining healthy relationships.
And they are.

And the line between the two? Is razor-thin.
