Strong boundaries are not walls; they are bridges that lead us to peace. In this episode of Space To Exhale: The Podcast, Lisa welcomes back Alexis Mobley, PCC; ICF-certified executive coach and founder of I, Matter Coaching.
Together, the friends explore what it truly means to protect one’s peace without hardening one’s heart, a conversation that redefines boundaries as acts of softness, strength, and self-love.
If you're ready to exhale, rest, and reclaim emotional balance will find wisdom in this candid dialogue about setting limits that liberate, not isolate. The show blends warmth with practicality, offering grounded insights for Black women cultivating a soft life.
In “Tender Armor: Better Boundaries for Softer Living,” you will learn how to:
✅ Navigate relationships with clarity, courage, and grace
✅ Identify boundary fatigue and recognize when rest is overdue
✅ Rebuild self-trust through compassionate, values-aligned boundaries
✅ Set clear, compassionate boundaries that feel aligned with your values
✅ Say “no” to make space for your deepest “yes”
✅ Release guilt and reframe boundaries as a form of self-care
Whether you are setting boundaries with others or re-negotiating the ones you have with yourself, this conversation offers a sanctuary of insight, especially for Black women seeking rest, self-love, and sustainable soft living. Because everybody deserves tender armor that preserves their peace and shields their softness.
Tune in to Space To Exhale: The Podcast for a timely reminder that boundaries are love in action.
