This episode is for anyone who thinks peace means having zero problems. Host Suma talks with Laura Richards about why real peace comes from knowing yourself and your own boundaries.

Laura shares how years without boundaries left her overriding her own needs, what shifted after her divorce, and how anger or a tight stomach often signals a boundary being crossed.

About the Guest:

Laura Richards hosts the podcast That's Where I'm At, where she talks about healing from narcissistic abuse, setting boundaries, and learning self-love after her own divorce.

Key Takeaways:

• Peace isn't the absence of problems, it comes from knowing yourself and your boundaries.
• Boundaries are a door, not a wall, they show people how to stay close, not shut them out.
• Anger, a stomach ache, or dread around someone often means a boundary is being crossed.
• Journaling both sides of a relationship can reveal patterns you've been missing.
• Setting boundaries for the first time gets harder before it gets easier, that's part of the process.
