Boundaries are often misunderstood—they’re not about shutting people out, but about creating space for what matters most. Just like a garden needs a fence to flourish, our relationships need boundaries to stay healthy. Without them, things can become tangled, neglected, or overrun. With walls too high, nothing can grow. But when boundaries are intentional and balanced, they allow connection, protection, and growth to coexist. In this post, we explore how different types of boundaries—rigid, porous, and healthy—shape the landscape of our relationships, and how finding the right balance can help you cultivate deeper, more fulfilling connections.
