Episode Title: How I Found My Sanctuary
Episode Description
What if healthy boundaries aren't walls that push people away, but the foundation for stronger, more authentic relationships?
In this opening episode of Boundaries That Build Better Relationships, Faith Harmony shares the personal journey that transformed her understanding of boundaries. Discover why constantly saying "yes" can quietly disconnect us from our own values, why guilt often keeps us trapped in unhealthy patterns, and how viewing boundaries as an inner Sanctuary can completely change the way we care for ourselves and those we love.
You'll learn why boundaries are acts of self-respect rather than selfishness, how protecting your emotional well-being allows you to show up more fully for others, and why lasting change begins with reconnecting to the person you were always meant to be.
Whether you've struggled with people-pleasing, emotional exhaustion, or simply feel overwhelmed by the expectations of daily life, this episode offers a compassionate starting point for building healthier relationships—beginning with the one you have with yourself.
