Episode-by-episode discussion of Set Boundaries, Find Peace by Nedra Glover Tawwab — what a boundary actually is, how to say it, and what to do when people push back. Each episode takes one chapter and turns it into something you can use today. Part of Burnout Books to Podcasts.

Expecting a partner to just know is the most common boundary failure there is. We work through Tawwab's chapter on romantic relationships — asking without issuing an ultimatum, the difference between a request and a rule, and what to do when the same boundary keeps getting ignored.
Friendships end quietly, usually because nobody said anything. We cover one-sided friendships, the friend who only appears in a crisis, and Tawwab's take on repairing, renegotiating or ending a friendship without the drama of a formal falling out.
Work expands to fill whatever space you leave it. This episode covers Tawwab's workplace boundaries — the after-hours message, the extra task, the colleague who treats you as their permanent backup — and how to hold a line when the other person signs your paycheque.
Tawwab's most modern chapter is about a boundary that did not exist a generation ago. We go through what constant availability does to you, the comparison trap that comes with it, and the limits worth setting on your phone before it finishes setting them on you.
The book closes by asking you to actually begin. We walk through Tawwab's final guidance along with her self-assessment quiz and the questions readers ask most often, and finish on the single boundary worth setting this week rather than the ten you are planning for someday.
