In this episode of Dating on High Alert, host Ilja Abbattista dives deep into a topic that’s essential for anyone navigating love, trauma, and the journey back to themselves: Boundaries.

Boundaries aren’t just about saying no or keeping people out, they’re about creating space for safety, intimacy, and self-respect. Ilja shares how trauma, ADHD, and rejection sensitivity can make setting boundaries feel almost impossible, and she offers real-world strategies and stories to help you find your own voice.

You’ll learn:
 🌿 What different types of boundaries look like in dating and life
 🌿 How to spot the signs when your boundaries are being tested
 🌿 Why boundaries are an act of self-love- not rejection
 🌿 How to create healthy, nourishing relationships where you can be fully yourself

From personal experiences to empowering insights, this episode is an invitation to remember: You’re allowed to take up space, to ask for what you need, and to be met with respect.

Tune in, and let’s reclaim the kind of love and connection that’s real, safe, and beautifully yours.
