    • Communicating Boundaries: Focus on Your Needs, Not Others' ActionsEffectively communicate your boundaries by focusing on your needs instead of others' actions to maintain connections and value in relationships.

      Effective communication of boundaries is essential for protecting one's energy, joy, heart, and soul in all relationships. However, many people find it challenging to communicate their boundaries due to the fear of difficult conversations or the belief that they are asking others to step outside of their comfort zones. Sharnley, a relationship expert, suggested a simple yet effective solution: instead of focusing on what others need to do, shift the mindset to what you need to have. By communicating your boundaries in terms of your needs, it becomes easier to express them in a way that maintains the connection and value of the relationship. Remember, understanding and communicating your boundaries is crucial when life shifts and new needs or circumstances arise.

    E482 Ask Nick - Addicted to Toxic Work Situationship

    Welcome back to another juicy and exciting episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! On this show, we’re here to help with all your burning questions about dating and relationships! We bring on our first caller, who has been in a long distance relationship for a long time with her boyfriend. After it looks like they are able to move much closer and no longer have to do long distance, our caller wonders how to best transition into this new phase, being able to enjoy each other but also respect the space they might need. Our next caller finds herself stuck in a toxic work environment when a situationship starts to go astray. Having an intense  emotional relationship with someone you work with everyday, our caller feels stress when not being able to set proper boundaries both at work and in the situationship with her coworker. Our last caller struggles when her husband's friend continues to try to insert himself and befriend our caller’s family. After her mother says she’s getting DMs from this friend, our caller is unsure how to read his intentions and how to set boundaries while also potentially being supportive if need be.
