On Today's Episode:

There is something both sobering and chilling about being manipulated, especially by someone close to you. The feeling of betrayal and pain can leave you untrusting of everyone after that, and the emotional aftermath can lead to years of therapy or unhealthy behaviors.

If you’re a ‘Yes’ to any of these, this episode is a must for you:
- Have fallen for people’s fake concern at the expense of invalidating yourself
- Felt suffocated by the weight of someone’s constant complaining
- Started questioning your version of reality because you were being gaslit

The Boundary Boss and one of our favorite homies on Women of Impact, Terri Cole, is back for another round and this time she’s unpacking everything you need to never be tricked by manipulative people again! They want to get their way no matter what at your expense, and it’s your job to recognize it and put an end to it with the right boundaries in place.

Terri Cole is a licensed therapist and bestselling author who helps women like you break the cycle of living without boundaries. It doesn’t matter who you are or what your past is, everyone deserves and needs boundaries to create and maintain healthy relationships.

If you’re walking on eggshells at home, it’s time to sit up straight and pay attention.
