Boundary and Self Protection

Boundary and Self Protection is a trauma-informed listening podcast rooted in lived experience and the ongoing practice of choosing safety, dignity, and self-respect. This space explores boundaries not as punishment or withdrawal, but as necessary acts of care—especially for nervous systems shaped by harm, overwhelm, or repeated violation.

Each episode offers sound and reflection that supports disengagement from what is damaging and a return to what preserves energy, agency, and choice. There is no pressure to confront, explain, or resolve. Listening itself is the boundary.

This podcast includes the following pieces:

• I Don’t Stay Where I’m Harmed
• Distance Is Care
• Access Is Not Assumed
• This Is Where I Stop
• I Choose Quiet Over Damage
• You Don’t Get to Decide
• I Leave Without Explaining

Together, these works form a listening arc about recognizing limits, honoring withdrawal, and allowing separation to be protective rather than shameful. You are welcome to listen fully, partially, or step away at any time. Nothing here requires endurance.

Boundary and Self Protection exists for those learning that leaving, pausing, and choosing quiet can be forms of strength—and that self-protection is not something to apologize for.
