What should you do if someone wants to be friends, but you’re not into it? Boundaries are part of all human relationships, but they are TRICKY. This week, part two of our show about boundaries - how to make them, how to keep them, and sometimes, how to breach them - with special guest Dr. Alexandra Solomon, host of Reimagining Love.

 

Notable quotes: 

Boundaries are essentially “need negotiation” between humans. - Megan

In this episode we cover:

  • Starting over in a new place with new friends 
  • Why we so often confuse boundaries with being mean or rude
  • The power of social observation to gather data (Megan’s go-to move!)
