Boundaries aren’t just about saying no, they’re about knowing yourself.

Today Jill sits down with life coach and boundary expert Steph Koenig to explore a fresh, personality-driven approach to setting better boundaries - without the guilt. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, overcommitted, or unsure how to protect your time and energy without burning bridges, this one’s for you.

Steph introduces her signature framework: The Four Boundary Confidence Types: The Explorer, The Architect, The Juggler, and The Trailblazer. You’ll learn how your personal style shapes the way you set (or struggle to set) boundaries, and how to shift from reactive to confident and clear.

Whether you’re the go-to person for everything, someone who avoids conflict, or the type who sets boundaries then breaks them, this conversation will help you understand your patterns and start setting limits with confidence.

We talked about:

• Why boundaries are essential for time and energy management—not just relationships

• The 4 Boundary Confidence Types and how to identify your own

• What each type needs most to evolve and avoid burnout traps

• Why boundary struggles aren’t a personal failure—they’re a pattern you can rewrite

• How to start setting limits that actually feel good
