Ha!\n\nBut I believe it\u2019s best not to just go around popping people in the face. Rather, it can be wicked helpful to learn how to direct our energy into discerning how and when to fire \u201cwarning shots\u201d - that let people know that they\u2019re about to cross a boundary you have set. \n\nThe thing is, a lot of people don't know how to set boundaries and they often end up feeling trampled on, taken advantage of or that people kinda\u2019 use them as a doormat. \n\nThe flip side to that is people who don't even wait to fire a warning shot. They just go right in, stepping up toe to toe and leading with their power and aggression. \n\nSo there's a lack of boundaries on both sides of the metaphorical \u201cboxing ring\u201d.\n\nToday on the Karen Kenney Show, we\u2019re talking about how to move through the world without becoming a doormat, but also not being a perpetrator of violence. Whether that's with your thoughts, your words, your actions, or your literal fists.\n\nI think it behooves us all to kind of know how to do this and the best way to ensure it happens is to think about it and talk about it ahead of time. \n\nLearning how to practice \u201cnonviolent resistance\u201d is a very powerful thing. We discover, as the ancient sages instructed us, \u201cHow to hiss and not to bite.\u201d\n\nWe learn to fire warning shots when necessary and keep our healthy boundaries intact.","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/22c50850-e75c-4734-b25e-87faf90de9ff/2026-Podcast-Artwork-512KB.jpg"}
