| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Empowered Wife podcast where it's all about fixing your relationship without your man's conscious effort so that you feel desired and taking care of and special even if your relationship feels completely hopeless. |
| 0:22.0 | I'm Laura Doyle and today I'm talking about |
| 0:24.6 | five bogus facts about boundaries. My guest Racine was working hard to be the |
| 0:30.6 | perfect wife but she was stuck in a never-ending conflict between her |
| 0:35.2 | husband and her parents. As much as she tried to smooth things between them, |
| 0:38.9 | attention only got worse, but today her husband and her family get along much better and she enjoys |
| 0:45.1 | the intimacy and connection with her husband and feels a lot more relaxed. |

| 1:43.8 | leave me alone with the kids. Or I told him he had to end his friendship with |
| 1:48.1 | that woman at work because that was violating my boundary. Or as I used to say I don't appreciate being spoken |
| 1:54.4 | to that way and I won't accept it. Of course I want to honor myself I want to |
| 2:00.0 | say how I'm feeling and what I want. I want to feel important and desired. I want to be treated well. |
