Messy Conversation Convention - Boundaries Edition

You know that moment when you feel the “yes” leaving your mouth… and your body is screaming “no”? Welcome. You’re in the right place.

Messy Conversation Convention: Setting Boundaries is a free 90-minute Zoom session for people who care—about relationships, about work, about doing things well—and are tired of paying for that care with resentment and burnout.

Because boundaries aren’t mean. They’re not selfish. They’re not a personality upgrade you unlock once you become The Kind of Person Who Never Feels Guilty.

Boundaries are clarity. And clarity is kindness… especially in messy conversations.

In this session, you’ll learn how to set boundaries that are:

• Clear (so there’s no accidental loophole)
• Kind (so you can stay in relationship where it’s possible)
• Firm (so you don’t negotiate yourself into exhaustion)
  

We’ll cover:

• How to determine your boundaries (and what they aren’t)
• How to say no / not now / not like that with care and without a 12-step explanation
• What to do when people push back, bargain, guilt-trip, or escalate
• How to repair when a boundary lands badly… without taking it back
• Scripts you can use in email, meetings, client work, collaboration, and real life
  

This is practical, not preachy. Interactive, not stressful. You can participate in chat—or just absorb quietly with a hot beverage and a nervous system that’s trying its best.
