does your intuition tell you someone has overstepped your boundaries? where do you draw the line between self-preservation and being secretive? what does it mean to truly open up? what do healthy boundaries look like?

we grapple with these confusing questions and more in this episode, where we share our personal struggles with communicating our boundaries and sticking to them. if you're dealing with something similar, listen in to our advice!

please listen to the suicide prevention episode, which we published last week after streaming this one. we appreciate it!

we hope you're all staying healthy and safe, especially if you're in our region, which was recently hit with the bomb cyclone 💛💛 if you made it this far, follow us on instagram at @teensunscripted!
