How to Set Boundaries Without Guilt | Mandy Reedy | Christina Brooks

In this episode, Christina and Mandy walk through the messy, real-life difference between a gentle boundary (the kind you don't even have to announce) and a hard one (the kind that costs you something). Christina shares her story about temporarily separating from her husband as a hard boundary a few years back, they discuss the truth about forgiveness vs. reconciliation, and end with how to handle parents who won't respect your parenting choices.
