Never Good with Horses: Neurodiversity, Wholeness, and the Danger of Selective Seeing

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.
