The Unconditional Boundaries Podcast

David worked in health care for most of 35 years helping mostly low income people. In 2018, while working with a team of various medical professionals, a light bulb went off for him that he felt was the key to why so many people struggle to get ahead in life. 

David's book "New You, Who Knew!" offers some foundational principles that will help regular people get more of what they want out of life.

We talked about some of those principles in this interview, which I'm sure you'll find as delightful as I did.

This is an amazing interview turned support call. Although we had arranged to have an interview, when we got on the call, Susan instead asked for support with her own marriage. So welcome to a real life example of my coaching.

Susan is an amazing, open, compassionate, and successful woman whose been married for 30 years and in business with her husband for 15 of those. She's been called "The Intimacy Expert to Millions," and has been on a variety of TV and radio shows as well as numerous podcasts. I was extremely delighted to have her on my show. I think you will be too.

You can connect with her on many social media platforms, all of which you can find on her website at http://susanbratton.com/

From the moment I first met Leslie, I was amazed by her self awareness. She has a lot of wisdom and a huge caring heart. I hope you love listening to this conversation as much as we did having it.

Leslie and I have been having conversations around coaching and personal development for almost a year and a half now so naturally I thought of her first when it came time to do the interviews for my podcast. 

I've been experiencing a bit of life this fall and haven't released an episode for 2 months now. I am, however, trying to get back in the habit of creating content and connecting with people again. I hope to have a few more interview episodes recorded shortly. I intend to get back into releasing episodes weekly as soon as I have some recorded to release.

I had a really great time, as I usually do, talking with Leslie. She's a wonderful person with some great insights and more wisdom than I thought one person could have. I hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as I did talking with her.

Self care is one of the most overlooked and misunderstood aspects of a healthy lifestyle. And it's the opposite of selfish!

Boundaries should always be communicated. Barriers, on the other hand, don't have to be communicated, especially if it might be harmful to do so.

Guys tend to both extremes of stubborn and carefree - their priorities are usually quite strict, and they just don't seem to can about anything that isn't a priority.

I discuss in this episode how boundaries can help them with these things.

As a bonus, I also offer a way for guys to learn more about their emotions.

Why do controlling people typically end up dating people pleasers and visa versa? 

And when they do, Why do we tell them they have to break up in order to fix their behavior? 

In this episode I'll talk about how boundaries can help repair both the behavior of each person in the relationship and the relationship itself.

You've set up some boundaries and they're working - mostly. You aren't entirely happy with the results. Or maybe you used to be happy with the results and either you've changed and want different results, or you're no longer getting the results you want.

It's time to evolve your boundaries. Evolving our boundaries saves us from scrapping them and creating all new ones. And it also helps other people to see us as more consistent as we grow instead of seeing us as difficult to predict or 'flaky'.

When do you Boundaries and When are Barriers more appropriate? In this episode I explore some of the reasons you might choose either one.

So how exactly does one set up unconditional boundaries? In this episode I lay out the steps I use both personally and with my clients to help them set up boundaries that allow everyone involved to have options. This is how unconditional boundaries help us connect to others while giving us a framework to get our needs met.

In this episode I talk about what Unconditional Boundaries are in relationships and why we want them.

In this episode I discuss the most important boundaries you will ever need - your own.

In this episode I talk about the differences between boundaries and barriers.

Boundaries create the space for connection, but also allow us to get hurt.

Barriers protect us from hurt, but also prevent connection and love.

In this episode I answer the question "What are unconditional boundaries?"

They are boundaries that give everyone involved choice.

In this introductory episode, I discuss the four main types of people who would find this podcast helpful: someone who needs boundaries, someone who wants boundaries, someone who needs love, and someone who's searching for love.
