5 Boundary Mistakes That Sabotage Love

Why are you so passionate about boundaries?

I always say, “boundaries are EVERYTHING” because they’ve shown up over and over in our lives and in our successful coaching practices! 

Self defense is all about staying safe, even in the face of physical danger! And guess what, even that is BOUNDARIES!

What’s important about setting boundaries in dating?

Boundaries can be BRIDGES!

The people you’re dating WANT to know you, and boundaries are a great way to learn about each other. You can build CONNECTION!

What you like, what you don’t like … my little rap ditty – what you will and what you won’t …

When people know they need to set a boundary, what usually happens?

They fumble for the right words to say. They wait too long and miss the opportunity to speak up. They suppress and then explode in anger. Or, they shut down, and avoid speaking up altogether. 

What does NOT setting boundaries cost us?

It costs you your sanity, time/money/energy. 

Speaking up and setting Boundaries early on saves you Time! Energy! Money, and your sanity!

What are the The 5 boundary mistakes that sabotage love?

  1. NOT knowing Your own VALUE 
  2. NOT STANDING UP for what’s important to you 
  3. NOT PAYING ATTENTION to the early warning signs
