- The nitty-gritty of how to make real boundaries for yourself (most people miss some important steps).
- The four keys to holding your boundaries.
- Actionable tips and tools for all those situations where it’s hard to keep your boundaries intact (don’t you hate it when people won’t take no for an answer?).

Are you ready to: Feel closer and more connected to your partner? Stop having the same argument over and over? Be happier and finally make changes that stick? It’s not too late. You can reclaim your relationship and your happiness. You just need to have the right tools to finally make it happen. My goal is, above all, to provide practical, usable tools that work - not unproven ideas or pie-in-the-sky theories that sound good but do little to help you in your day-to-day life.

No matter how much advice we get or how much work we do on our “stuff,” nothing ever seems to make the difference. The truth of it is, you’re woefully ill-equipped for one of the most life-defining things you will ever take on—being in a committed relationship. Whether you’re currently in one, want to be in one, half in–half out, getting over one, married, single, separated, divorced, or just overwhelmed with the whole thing, let’s cut through the morass of relationship schtick and put you back in charge.

Story
Being in a relationship without knowing how to share your feelings and receive your partner’s feelings in useful ways is like jumping into a pool without knowing how to swim. You can flail around all you want, but it’s not going to keep you afloat for very long—you need to be able to move in any direction at will. Like swimming, knowing how to share your feelings and respond to your partner's feelings will move your relationship in the direction you want: toward more intimacy, closeness, connection, and trust.

Are you tired of feeling f*cked up? If you are, Gary John Bishop has the answer. In this straightforward handbook, he gives you the tools and advice you need to demolish the slag weighing you down and become the truly unf--ked version of yourself. "Wake up to the miracle you are," he directs. "Here's what you've forgotten: You're a f--king miracle of being." It isn't other people that are standing in your way; it isn't even your circumstances that are blocking your ability to thrive. It's yourself and the negative self-talk you keep telling yourself.

Here acclaimed author James Hollis guides you through 21 areas for self-inquiry and growth - such as how to exorcise the ghosts of your past, when to choose meaning over happiness, how to construct a mature spirituality, and how to seize permission to be who you really are.

A request is not a boundary
Loved the book. Made many bookmarks. One of them on 'A request is not a boundary, just saying you don't like something is not a boundary'.
I wrote down many times 'this chapter is for me...'
I feel like it was made simple in this book, can definitely recommend it.

Wonderfully helpful book!
Thank you for this book, Abby! You so gently helped me see and understand what boundaries are and why I need to pay attention to them! "Boundaries are love. Fear are walls." This is so powerful. After listening to your book, I understand that loving myself first is a boundary! That was a huge lightbulb moment for me and will change my life. Thank you!

You are doing life changing work.
Abby, you are name dropped daily in my house (usually great but sometimes "ugh abby yelled at me about this this morning on the way to work I have to do what I told myself i was going to do" 🤣 in all seriousness, I am a regular podcast listener and your work has changed the trajectory of how I will think forever. I apply your tools and research to my relationships everywhere and I am so thankful that I came upon your podcast on Spotify last summer and that you offer so much valuable teaching at no cost. i appreciate you. ❤️
