You say you’re protecting your peace…
But are you really protecting yourself from discomfort?
This episode is for the women who’ve said “I’m setting boundaries” but deep down suspect they might just be pulling away. If you’ve ever avoided messages, cancelled plans, or shut someone out and called it self-care, this conversation will help you gently unpack what’s really going on underneath.
In this episode, Clare shares how to tell the difference between healthy boundaries and protective avoidance and why your nervous system often confuses the two.
✨ What you’ll hear:
The key difference between a true boundary and an avoidant response
How trauma and people-pleasing shape the way we disconnect
Why avoidance isn’t bad, but it isn’t always honest
How to set boundaries from a place of self-worth, not fear
Real-world signs you might be avoiding under the label of “boundaried”
What to do when your nervous system shuts down instead of speaking up
Whether you’re constantly retreating or unsure how to hold your ground with compassion, this episode will help you come back to clarity, connection, and choice.
📩 Feeling stuck in the blur between avoidance and boundaries? DM Clare on Instagram or get in touch via email, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
Boundaries should bring you closer to yourself, not push you further away.
