If you don’t set your own boundaries, whatever culture you are a part of will.
Here lies the conflict. As humans, we want to belong.
So, often when we set a boundary it will feel like we are “opting out” of something: a conversation, the culture, a hot topic of the minute.
And while “opting out” feels conflicting in the moment, in reality, being conscious of these boundaries is the only way we can show up as a more powerful version of ourselves.
