Building a Healing Mindset: Internal Safety and Boundaries with Barb Nangle
If setting a boundary leaves you flooded with guilt, this conversation is for you. Boundaries coach Barb Nangle joins host Swati to explore what a healing mindset really means, and why it isn't about fixing yourself.
Barb shares how a codependent bottom at 52 led her into twelve-step recovery, where boundaries became a byproduct of healing, not a task. You'll learn why discomfort doesn't mean danger, and how internal safety, not other people's approval, is what real change is built on.
ABOUT THE GUEST:
Barb Nangle is a boundaries coach who hit a codependent bottom at 52 while working at Yale University. Through twelve-step recovery, she learned to build healthy boundaries and now supports professional women who say yes when they mean no. She hosts Fragmented to Whole: Life Lessons from Twelve-Step Recovery.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Treat hard self-discoveries as info, not ammo, for growth.
- Practice boundaries of self-containment: catch rumination and negative self-talk early.
- Remember discomfort doesn't mean danger, just unfamiliar new patterns.
- Notice constant blaming, then brainstorm the choices still available to you.
