You're listening to the Love Over Addiction Podcast.

Hey, okay. So today, I'm going to be reading you some things. I am really excited to read you,

you read to you from this new book, and I know reading, you know, something out of a text can be really boring,

but I've practiced, so I am going to go slow, and I hope to make this really interesting because I'm going to read to you,

and then I'm going to give you some stories to make it interesting.

So today, my helpful tip is going to be about boundaries.

I know, I know, boundaries, boundaries, boundaries, Michelle, why are you always talking about boundaries?

I'm talking about boundaries, guys, because we need to master them, like we must master boundaries.

We must become a 9 out of 10 with our boundaries, and that's why I kind of beat this to death.

So there are two, well, there's more than two, but I'm going to only cover two, because I want to keep it super simple and anything more than two,

and you probably won't forget, because I know I would forget.

So we're going to talk about two different types of people, and I want you to try and identify which one you fall into today.

That's the people that have non-existent boundaries.

All right, now this, I'm reading this, I did not come up with this myself.

This is from Pia Melody, who I'm in love with.

She wrote the book, Facing Co-dependence, and this is a great book.

So she talks about non-existent boundaries.

This might be you, where you have like zero self-protection.

So here it goes, people with non-existent boundaries have no sense of being abused or of being abusive.

Some people may have trouble saying no, or protecting themselves.

They allow others to take advantage of them physically, sexually, emotionally, or intellectually without clear knowledge

that they have the right to say, stop that.
