I'm backkk!!
Some of you already know this, but in my personal life I had to go completely no-contact with my “mom” and “dad.” I don’t even call them that anymore…they’re just names, or s***m and egg donor. And that’s a very hard boundary I had to set for my own survival and peace.
But here’s the truth: boundaries don’t always mean cutting people off. They shouldn’t…unless someone is extremely toxic, unsafe, or simply cannot and refuses to respect what you need of yourself.
The hard part is...when you start setting boundaries, people get ANGRY.
Because they want you to stay the same.
Because they don’t want a mirror held up to their actions.
Because it is easier to blame you than to face their own stuff.
I live this every day. I am, and probably always will be, the “blame.” The “problem.” The “scapegoat.”
And as painful as that is… I’m PROUD of it. Because it means I chose myself. It means I stopped the cycle. It means I’m the one brave enough to face the hard things…therapy, accountability, owning my mess, and actually doing the hard work that the people in my life refuse to do.
And no matter what, it always seems to circle back to me somehow:
👉 “I can tell you’ve been talking to Kir.”
👉 “Oh, you’re just like Kir.”
👉 “This is starting to look and sound like Kir & Missy.”
👉 “Get over yourself and this therapy bullsh*t.”
I’ll be honest…hearing that is tough, because the truth is, I don’t do anything but help, support, validate, and be my best self in hopes that others can be their best selves too. I have never…and will never…tell someone what boundaries they should set, or that they need to cut someone off. What I do is play devil’s advocate, help people see the other perspective, and guide them toward their own choices and what’s best for them.
I know I was put on this earth to help people become the best version of themselves and live their best life. And I will never apologize for that. I shouldn’t be blamed for how someone else chooses to live, whatever boundaries, choices, or path they take is theirs.
All of this to say: if you are at the point in your life where you are brave enough, strong enough, and courageous enough to break cycles, hold people accountable, and set boundaries for YOURSELF… be ready. The backlash will come. The hurtful words. The blame. The guilt trips. It isn’t for the weak. Let me be very clear…Just because people are upset with your choices, doesn’t mean that they are bad.
But that’s where I come in. Working with me will give you the strength, the clarity, and the tools you need to not just set your boundaries…but to stand firm in them when it gets hard.
So let’s talk about boundaries for a second:
➡️ What are they?
➡️ Why do we need them?
➡️ Who are they really for?
Boundaries are not about punishment. They are about protection…of your peace, your mental health, your healing, and your energy. They aren’t about shutting people out, but about letting the right people in, on terms that are safe and respectful for YOU.
Here is what that can look like in real life:
💕 Mother to daughter: “I love you, but I am not your punching bag. If you start yelling, cursing, or calling me names, I will walk away and end this conversation. I will not let you be disrespectful to me.”
🌸 Daughter to mother: “I love you, but I won’t let you undermine my parenting. I make the decisions for my children, and I will protect my family from judgment, guilt, or manipulation.”
🤝 Friendships: “I can’t be the friend you only come to when you’re in crisis. Our friendship needs to be mutual, not one-sided, and I need you to respect when I say I can’t take on more.”
💼 Workplace: “I’m not available to check emails after 6 PM.”
❤️ Romantic relationships: ““I need honesty and accountability. If my feelings are dismissed, gaslit, or minimized, that is a line I won’t allow to be crossed. Love without respect is not love.”
🧠 With yourself: “I won’t say yes to things that drain me, just to keep the peace. I won’t abandon myself to keep others comfortable. I won’t silence my truth to avoid conflict. My healing matters more than their approval.”
💡 Boundaries are everywhere...and they are what make healthy, balanced relationships possible. If this resonates with you, I created my Boundary Setting Workbook + Journal to walk you through this process. It’s full of prompts, reflections, and tools to help you
protect your peace and reclaim your life.
