You finally set the boundary. But instead of feeling peace, you feel anxious. Guilty. Exhausted. Overthinking every interaction and second-guessing your decision.

In this episode, host Chris Oh shares a personal story and walk you through what actually happens emotionally after setting boundaries, the part few people talk about.

You’ll learn:

  • Why your nervous system still feels activated even after doing "the right thing"
  • How guilt, anxiety, and people-pleasing tendencies get activated post-boundary
  • Why boundary-setting often leads to emotional labor long after the conversation is over
  • How to stop overthinking and start feeling confident in your standards
  • My personal 4-step emotional reset framework to manage boundary anxiety

If you’ve ever struggled with:

  • Fear of being "too much" or "too selfish"
  • Worrying how others will react to your boundaries
  • Feeling emotionally exhausted trying to manage others' feelings

...this episode will give you the language, insight, and tools to hold your boundaries with confidence and emotional peace.
