#24 - Reimagining Boundaries with Leah & Dr. Willow
EPISODE SUMMARY:
Today, on the Sex Reimagined Podcast, we have an amazing show for you on boundaries and how they are essential for any healthy relationship. Boundaries are the invisible lines that define the limits of acceptable behavior in relationships. They help us to protect ourselves from being taken advantage of, and also allow us to respect the needs of others. In this show, we will discuss why boundaries are important, how to set them effectively, and how to maintain them in a healthy way. We are pumped you have decided to join us as we explore this vital topic!
