A short diarized transcript defining "non-negotiables" as what you will tolerate and "boundaries" as a conditional response formula ("If you do this, I will do that"). The speakers emphasize that boundaries center less on others' actions and more on one’s chosen response, highlighting personal agency and the power to change how one shows up.

Chapters

A non negotiable.
Is what.
You will tolerate. So this is the way I like to look at non negotiables and boundaries.
A non negotiable is a clear.
Understanding that you have.
On what you will tolerate and.
What you will not tolerate. A boundary.
Is basically.
The following formula.
It's you saying.
To somebody else, if.
You do this, I.
Will then do that. I will then do this other thing. Often I.
Will hear somebody walked all.
Over my boundaries or somebody overstepped my boundaries.
And my response.
Is that is kind of impossible.
Because if we use my.
Definition of a.
Boundary, the emphasis is.
Not so much on what the other person does, it's much more on how we respond.
And if we don't.
If we choose not to respond, then that's on us.
And that's a good thing because that.
Means we have the power.
That means we have.
Agency.
That means that we can change how.
We'Re showing up.
