Are you struggling to say "no" without feeling guilty? Licensed psychologist Dr. Toni Cooper joins Vivian to unpack the essential role of boundaries in creating peace and order in our relationships. Through their engaging discussion of walls versus boundaries, Vivian opens up about her own challenges with friendship after moving to California, while Dr. Cooper offers practical wisdom on setting limits with time, money, and affection. They explore how Scripture supports healthy boundaries, debunk common misconceptions about Christian kindness, and share actionable strategies for boundary-setting—from managing phone usage to handling difficult family gatherings.
