If you’re a high-achieving professional who’s “nice,” responsible, and always showing up… but secretly exhausted or resentful, this episode is for you. In today’s conversation, Dr. Raquel Yarroch explains why boundaries aren’t selfish—they’re self-respect in action and one of the clearest forms of self-love.

You’ll learn why resentment is often a sign a boundary is missing, the real reason boundaries feel scary (fear of losing connection), and the 3 types of boundaries that protect your energy: time boundaries, emotional boundaries, and energetic boundaries. Dr. Raquel also shares a simple “Clean No” script you can use without guilt or over-explaining—plus a quick mind–body “Body Check” on how weak boundaries can show up as stress, gut tension, sleep disruption, and burnout.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why “nice” people burn out (and how to stop)
  • How resentment points to a missing boundary
  • The 3 types of boundaries (time, emotional, energetic)
  • A clean, calm way to say no (without over-explaining)
  • The mind–body link between boundaries, stress, and gut symptoms
  • A simple 1-boundary challenge for this week
