As a life coach, I lead with empathy. This is a judgment-free space where everyone is respected, supported, and empowered. I created this class because healthy boundaries are one of the most powerful skills you can develop — they shape how far you go in life, how you protect your energy, and how you stay connected to yourself without burning out.
Class Time:
3 hours of learning!
Adults who are struggling lead a healthy lifestyle with regard to boundary setting:
People-pleasing
Guilt when saying no
Over-explaining
Burnout from emotional labor
Cameras encouraged
Breakout rooms
Chat + polls
Real-time coaching and feedback
Practice > reflection > refinement
By the end of class, students will:
Identify their personal boundary blind spots
Practice setting at least 2 real boundaries out loud
Learn a repeatable framework for boundary communication
Receive live feedback on tone, clarity, and confidence
Leave with custom boundary scripts they helped create
1. Warm-Up: Boundary Reality Check (10 min)
Activity: Live Poll + Chat
Questions like: “Which is hardest for you?”
Saying no
Handling pushback
Knowing what you want
Guilt afterward
Purpose: Creates safety, normalizes the struggle, and sets the tone for honest connection.
2. Small-Group Story Swap (15 min)
Activity: Breakout Rooms (3–4 people)
Prompt: “Share one situation where you wanted to set a boundary but didn’t. What stopped you?”
Rules:
No advice
Just listening + validation
Instructor Role: Pop into rooms, observe patterns, and hold space with empathy.
3. Live Boundary Lab (30 min)
This is the heart of the class.
Activity: Role-Play Rotations
Each group gets a real scenario:
A boss asking for unpaid overtime
A family member overstepping
A friend who emotionally dumps
A church or nonprofit role with unclear limits
a. One student plays themselves
b. One plays the other person
c. One observes tone + clarity
Rotate roles.
Live Coaching Feedback:
“Try fewer words.”
“That boundary has an apology attached — let’s remove it.”
“Say it again, slower, without explaining.”
This is where confidence is built.
4. Group Debrief & Skill Refinement (15 min)
Activity: Open discussion + chat reflection
Questions:
What felt hardest to say?
Where did guilt show up?
What worked better than expected?
Framework (introduced through practice):
Clear + Kind + Complete
No justification. No defense. No over-care.
Students refine their boundary language live.
5. Personalized Feedback Loop (10 min)
Activity: Rapid Coaching
Volunteers share a boundary out loud.
Feedback includes:
One affirmation
One specific refinement
6. Integration & Take-Home Practice (10 min)
Activity: Chat Commitment
Prompt: “What is ONE boundary you will practice this week?”
Students share. Discomfort is normalized. Courage is affirmed.
Empathy first, always
No shame, no judgment
Effort over perfection
Gentle redirection
Modeling healthy boundaries in real time
It’s experiential, not theoretical
Students practice real life, not hypotheticals
They leave with *muscle memory*, not notes
It positions you as a guide who empowers, not a lecturer
