Better Boundaries will change your life (Guest Speaker: PLP Counsellor, Tamara How)

Boundaries will change your life—and most people are getting them wrong.

In this episode of the PLP Passionate Life Program Podcast, host Phoebe Hutchison is joined by counsellor Tamara How (Boundary expert) to unpack how healthy boundaries improve mental health, relationships, and overall wellbeing.

They explore why so many people struggle with boundaries—especially those with trauma, anxiety, or people-pleasing patterns—and how this leads to burnout, resentment, and emotional overwhelm.

You’ll learn:

•  What boundaries actually are (and what they’re not) 
•  Key signs your boundaries are being crossed 
•  How to set and communicate boundaries clearly 
•  Simple scripts you can use in real life 
•  Why guilt and resistance are normal—and how to handle them 

This episode is packed with practical tools, including the “positive sandwich” method and strategies to protect your time, energy, and emotional space.

If you want healthier relationships, more confidence, and less stress, this conversation will give you a powerful starting point.

Boundaries aren’t about pushing people away—they’re about creating safer, stronger connections.

May your love for yourself and your life deepen more daily.
