In this epsidoe of the Just ACT podcast, Dr. Ashley Fiorilli guides us through the essential practice of setting healthy boundaries to protect our personal space, energy, and well-being. She explains that boundaries serve as guidelines that help us maintain our emotional, physical, and mental health while still fostering meaningful connections with others.

Together, we explore different types of boundaries—physical, emotional, mental, time, material, and self-boundaries—and participate in a mini-assessment to help us evaluate and strengthen our own boundaries.

Dr. Fiorilli emphasizes that when we set boundaries from a place of values rather than avoidance, we create a more fulfilling and balanced life.
