YASKing with Anthony and Arturo

Episode 28 - The Power of Boundaries: From People Pleasing to Peace

Anthony Catalino and Arturo Diaz Season 1 Episode 28

Ready to stop saying 'yes' when your whole body is screaming 'no,' buttercups? In this transformative episode, Anthony and Arturo explore why setting boundaries feels so impossible - especially for those of us who learned early to override our own needs to feel safe.

Through personal stories (including Arturo's journey with family boundaries and Anthony's evolution in relationships), we dive into:

  • What boundaries really are (and aren't)
  • Why setting limits feels selfish
  • Converting guilt into self-respect
  • How people-pleasing holds us back
  • Queer-specific boundary challenges
  • Building authentic relationships through boundaries

Whether you're a recovering people pleaser or ready to stop abandoning yourself, this episode offers both compassion and concrete tools for setting healthy limits. Plus, we share practical steps to start small and build your boundary-setting muscle!

Remember: Your 'no' creates space for your true 'yes.
