In today’s episode, we’re unpacking the subtle (but important) differences between requests, boundaries, ultimatums, and dealbreakers. While these words are often used interchangeably, they carry different energies — and understanding those differences can help you communicate more clearly, hold your ground with integrity, and honour your needs without falling into patterns of control, people-pleasing, or collapse.
We’ll explore:
Why the energy behind your words matters more than the words themselves
What makes an ultimatum different from a boundary or dealbreaker
The common trap of over-explaining instead of taking aligned action
Why communication problems can't be solved in isolation
