In this powerful and honest episode, Christy Copeland, Licensed Professional Counselor and founder of the EmpowHER Experience, dives deep into a question many women silently wrestle with: Am I protecting my peace… or just building walls? Join Christy as she unpacks the difference between healthy boundaries rooted in self-love and emotional barriers rooted in fear. You’ll learn how to stay emotionally available without losing yourself, how to discern who and what deserves access to your energy, and why guarding your mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being is an act of empowerment—not isolation. If you’ve ever struggled with shutting people out to survive or felt guilty for setting boundaries to thrive, this episode is for you. Let’s talk healing, discernment, and the courage to protect your peace—without apology. Tune in and be empowered to drop the guilt, not the guardrails.
