What if the very boundaries you put in place to survive... are now keeping you from truly living?

In today’s episode of Caregiver Secrets, we dive into one of the hardest truths of caregiving: sometimes, our boundaries become cages. You’ll hear the emotional story of a caregiver who built walls to stay sane—and the quiet moment that made him realize it was time to loosen the grip.

If you’ve ever struggled with knowing when to protect yourself and when to open your heart just a little wider… this episode is for you.

This isn’t about guilt. It’s about growth.

You’ll discover:

How to tell when a boundary is no longer serving you
The difference between self-protection and self-isolation
And how to adjust without losing yourself

Plus, I’ll share a gentle reframe that will help you evolve your limits with confidence—not fear.
