Let's get real about creating and maintaining healthy boundaries.

In a digital landscape full of therapized language, have we normalized boundaries or a cut-off craze?

We all love to talk about boundaries. Scroll through Instagram and you’ll see quotes like, “Protect your peace” or “If it doesn’t serve you, cut it off.” On the surface, that’s good advice—boundaries are a real and necessary part of staying whole in this world. But in this episode, Margo and Tashira ask the tougher question: have we taken it too far?

There’s a difference between protecting your energy and building a brick wall around yourself. The “cut-off craze” has become trendy, almost like a badge of honor. Ghosting a friend, writing off family, or dropping a co-worker is painted as strength, but is it always? Or is it sometimes just a way to dodge the hard work of conflict, repair, and growth?

The conversation pulls at the tension between self-care and accountability. Yes, boundaries are healthy, but if every uncomfortable interaction ends with “you’re canceled,” we miss out on the deeper intimacy that comes from navigating friction. They challenge us to ask: what if sticking it out—having the messy conversation, holding someone accountable, or admitting our own flaws—was the real flex?

This episode reminds us that growth doesn’t come from isolation; it comes from being brave enough to stay in the room when things get hard.

Boundaries are essential—but when did drawing the line become a flex, and when does it just look like running?
