Have you ever “set a boundary” because a TikTok told you it was the only way to protect your peace? In this episode of But Are You Happy , hosts Ashani Dante and Dr. Anastasia Hronis unpack the idea of weaponised boundaries and explore how to tell whether yours are healthy gates or rigid walls that might be keeping people out unnecessarily.
