The Boundary Isn’t the End—It’s the Beginning of Real Connection
Boundaries are not only about keeping people out as is commonly believed, they are also about maintaining love and care for yourself and the other person. Prior to this your relationships may have been about prioritising the others' needs above yours. This may have been the only way you knew how to be in the relationship, boundaries allow for another way where your needs are also considered and whether both parties are equally important. This protects from resentment, burnout etc and can actually save the relationship in the long run.

How to be the Parent You Needed
When I first heard the word reparenting, I rolled my eyes. Another therapy buzzword, I thought. As a new mum, I could barely keep up with “real” parenting—why would I add another kind to the mix? But when I finally slowed down enough to listen, something clicked. Reparenting wasn’t about dismissing my parents’ sacrifices; it was about tending to the child in me that never got what she needed.
For many of us—especially eldest daughters of immigrants—childhood meant growing up too fast, being the “extra parent,” and learning our worth through responsibility. We know how to work. We know how to give. But we don’t always know how to play. Reparenting invites us to change that.
In this blog, I share why reclaiming play is central to healing, how to stop perfectionism from hijacking joy, and why reparenting doesn’t mean rejecting your faith—it can actually deepen it. Because at the heart of it all is this truth: the child in us is still here, waiting for us to finally show up.
