Squared Away Ep. 128 Empower Your Life With Boundaries: Insights From Heather Claus

In episode 128 of the Squared Away Podcast, listeners were treated to an insightful conversation with Heather Claus, affectionately known as Nookie, and the author of the empowering book “Take No Sh*t.” Heather’s wisdom on the topic of boundaries illuminated a crucial aspect of personal growth and self-discovery. As David Earle aptly put it, “The more severe the dysfunction you experienced growing up, the more difficult boundaries are for you.” Heather shed light on the fact that craptaculous boundaries are not something to blame ourselves for, as so few of us are ever taught healthy boundaries in our formative years. This absence of guidance is palpable in our families, friendships, media, and societal norms. Instead, we often find ourselves pressured to conform, be overly accommodating, and suppress our true desires, all under the guise of being “nice.”
