In this session, we explored boundaries through Modules 9 and 10 and looked at how time, emotional, physical, and material boundaries show up in real life. We also practiced the SPEAK framework, a tool that helps separate facts from stories so we can respond from clarity instead of fear.

We closed with a somatic exercise to notice how our bodies shift between heavy and light states.
