New episodes every Sunday! Shame is the fear of not being good enough or worthy of connection and belonging. This silent plague keeps us tethered to the performance, focused on external validation and approval versus internal rooting. It can disrupt every relationship, thought, and experience if left unchecked. And it's time we say enough. Join licensed mental health therapist, Kyira Wackett, in the quest to build insight and take meaningful and intentional actions as we untether ourselves from shame.

🎙️Ask Me Anything - E31: When My Mom Keeps Crossing My Boundaries

In this episode, I respond to a question from an anonymous listener who writes:

“I’ve tried setting boundaries with my mom, but it feels like no matter how clear I am, she always finds a way to push them. Whether it’s showing up unannounced, commenting on my parenting, or guilt-tripping me for saying no, I end up feeling frustrated and ashamed for even trying. How do I handle it when someone I love—especially a parent—keeps crossing my boundaries without turning it into a fight or feeling like I’m the bad guy?”

We dig into the deep emotional work of setting and maintaining boundaries with loved ones — especially when old family patterns make it hard to stand firm. Inside this episode, we’ll explore:

The difference between a boundary and a rule — and why you need both
How guilt and shame show up when you start protecting your peace
Why your mom’s reaction isn’t proof that your boundary is wrong
How to shift from frustration to self-respect through consistent follow-through

If you’ve ever felt guilty for setting limits with someone you love, this episode will help you reclaim your voice and your calm.
