Why Setting Boundaries Feels Selfish (And Why You Can’t Grow Without Them)

Your growth can be interrupted by more than distraction—you can lose your focus because you’ve never decided what deserves access to your time, attention, energy, and emotional space. In this episode of NexusMindPodcast, Abiola Michael explores why healthy boundaries are not walls against people, but intentional decisions that protect the life you’re trying to build.
We examine the hidden cost of constantly being available, why saying yes can sometimes become a form of self-abandonment, and how to create boundaries without becoming cold, selfish, or disconnected.
You’ll also learn a practical NexusMindPodcast framework for identifying where your boundaries are leaking and what to do about it.
