Summary
In this episode of LATE BLOOMERS, Rich and Rox dive into one of the most important (and uncomfortable) skills you’ll ever learn — boundaries. If you’ve ever said yes when you meant no, felt responsible for everyone else’s emotions, or ended up burnt out from being “too nice,” this one is for you.
They break down the signs of weak boundaries, why people pleasing feels like kindness, and why setting boundaries can feel so physically and emotionally difficult — especially for ADHD and highly empathetic brains. Expect honest stories, tough truths, and a few moments that might hit a little too close to home.
Most importantly, they show you how to start building boundaries in a way that actually works. Simple, practical, and real. Because you’re not selfish for protecting your energy — you’re finally taking your life back.
