0:00.0	Hello friends welcome back to the podcast it is Monday today I hope you guys are having an awesome start to the week at the time that I'm recording this it's actually October which is so exciting I think October is one of my most favorite months between the weather,
0:25.8	you've got Halloween, even though I don't really know what Halloween is going to be like this year.
0:30.0	It's just a really cozy month and I'm really excited for today's podcast episode because it is all about boundaries and boundaries are something that I feel I hear about every now and then but not in great detail. They're often things that we put up after we need
0:46.4	them and you know maybe when we actually have problems we put up boundaries but
0:50.6	we don't put them up from the beginning and so I thought that this would be a good
0:53.5	episode to do because I think especially during this time right now of coronavirus and everything you know you're working from home you're spending a lot of time at home.
1:03.0	You may have more free time and with that comes maybe abusing technology or not having

1:34.3	subscribe button if you listen on Apple Podcast or Spotify just hit the subscribe so you get
1:38.6	notifications when this podcast goes up every single Monday so you don't miss
1:42.1	it I really try to get these up every single Monday so you don't miss it. I really try to get these up early
1:44.3	on Monday. For me personally I love when I just wake up and it's already up I don't have to
1:48.9	wait till 9 or 10 or 11 to listen. I love just having them there in the morning so I hope you
1:54.2	guys appreciate that too because I know I definitely do. Kind of setting the
1:57.6	framework for boundaries for me personally I think that this topic has
2:01.4	always rubbed me a little bit the wrong way.
2:05.1	I think the main reason why is because often these conversations are so centered around
2:09.9	our personal desires, our personal preferences, how to please ourselves, and they're just so focused on ourselves.
