In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Christine Baker, a trauma specialist and somatic therapist, to explore the connection between setting boundaries and maintaining a healthy nervous system. Boundaries are essential for protecting your peace, especially in toxic relationships or challenging situations, but they can be incredibly difficult to establish and enforce.

Dr. Baker explains how our nervous systems can become overwhelmed and dysregulated when we fail to set healthy boundaries, leading to stress, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion. She also shares practical advice on how to recognize when your boundaries are being crossed, and how to strengthen your nervous system to confidently enforce them.

Whether you’re struggling to set limits with a toxic person or trying to maintain your well-being in a difficult relationship, this episode offers the tools and insights you need to reclaim your peace and protect your mental and emotional health. Tune in for a conversation that will empower you to build stronger boundaries and a more resilient nervous system.
