So, ever feel like life is kind of one nonstop boundary issue?
While you're not alone?
My guest, Terry Cole can help.
Before earning a master's in clinical psychotherapy from New York University, Terry spent years running a talent agency for actors and supermodels.
She was kind of your typical type, a overachiever with zero balance, no internal peace, driven by ambition, living on planes and serving as business executive, confidant, advisor, surrogate, parental figure, and really bouncing between nearly every role with every person imaginable.
And she began to realize that every part of work and life was bleeding into every other part of work in life.
And the net effect was that everything was kind of bleeding out.
Something had to change.
She wanted her life back, and she wanted to do something that felt more driven by meaning and service.
So, changing direction, she went back to school, started a partnership in life and family and therapy practice at the same time.
That has now been her devotion for over two decades.
And it turns out what she learned in the trenches with her high profile clients has really informed and continues to inspire the work she does today.
She's kind of on a mission.
Her dharma, she shares, is teaching women how to attract and sustain healthy, vibrant, real love into their lives and establish and maintain effective boundaries with ease and grace.
That latter part, she has come to believe, is at the heart of so much interpersonal struggle and is perpetually at the center of nearly every therapeutic interaction that she has.
So she figured it was time to share what she's learned in a new book, Boundary Boss.
We dive deeply into the world of boundaries in today's conversation.
So excited to share it with you.
I'm Jonathan Fields, and this is good life project.
So we've been friends for years now.
