EFR 648: Overcoming Betrayal, The Common Denominator Theory, and Setting Healthy Boundaries in Relationships with May Yazdi Chewning

<p>In today's episode, Chase and May talk about relationships, boundary setting, and healing. We will all encounter people in our lives that test our boundaries or share different values from us. On top of that, we are all constantly changing and healing, which can create friction in our relationships. You may love someone deeply, but if they cannot meet you where you are, it's hard to maintain a healthy dynamic. Ending relationships is not a failure, and it is okay to leave space in your heart for people while realizing they cannot be in your life right now.</p> <p>May shares how she took stock of her relationships in order to identify what wasn't working for her.
