Publisher's Summary

Break free from over-functioning, over-delivering, people-pleasing, and ignoring your own needs, so you can finally live the life you deserve!

Most of us were never taught how to effectively express our preferences, desires, or deal-breakers. Instead, we hide our feelings behind passive-aggressive behavior, deny our own truths, or push our emotions down until we get depressed or so frustrated that we explode, potentially destroying hard-won trust and relationships.

The most successful and satisfied people on the planet have one thing in common: the ability to create and communicate clear, healthy boundaries. This ability is, hands down, the biggest game changer when it comes to creating a healthy, happy, self-determined life.

In Boundary Boss, psychotherapist Terri Cole reveals a specific set of skills that can help you stop abandoning yourself for the sake of others (without guilt or drama) and get empowered to consciously take control of every aspect of your emotional, spiritual, physical, personal, and professional life.

Since becoming a boundary boss is a process, Cole also offers actionable strategies, scripts, and techniques that can be used in the moment, whenever you need them. You will learn:

  • How to recognize when your boundaries have been violated and what to do next
  • How your unique “Boundary Blueprint” is unconsciously driving your boundary behaviors, and strategies to redesign it
  • Powerful boundary scripts so in the moment you will know what to say
  • How to manage “Boundary Destroyers” - including emotional manipulators, narcissists, and other toxic personalities
  • Where you fall on the spectrum of codependency and how to create healthy, balanced relationships

This book is for women who are exhausted from over-giving, overdoing, and even over-feeling. If you’re getting it all done but at the expense of yourself, give yourself the gift of Boundary Boss.

What the critics say

“This powerful book is a clear path to deep healing work. If you’re ready for true emotional freedom, let Boundary Boss show you the way. And thank you, Terri Cole! Your brilliant (and often hilarious!) guidance is a blessing to us all.” (Kris Carr, New York Times best-selling author)

“Terri Cole’s advice is game-changing! After having her on my Off the Gram podcast, I went home and broke up with a toxic friend, then wrote about it in my own book! Terri is the ultimate boundary boss and communication queen and in this powerful book, she shows us how to become the same. The world needs this book right now!” (Meaghan B Murphy, content chief for Woman’s Day magazine, author of Your Fully Charged Life)

“With Boundary Boss, Terri Cole, powerhouse healer and transformational therapist, serves up the psychologically savvy medicine that you need to step out of destructive habits, stop people-pleasing, and set your soul free.” (Gabrielle Bernstein, number-one New York Times best-selling author of The Universe Has Your Back)

Excellent Guide for Boundaries

I enjoyed every bit of this book. It was an eye opener about maintaining healthy boundaries. There were so many aspects I immediately applied into my life after reading. I will no longer allow anyone to walk all over me like I did before. Let this book be a motivation for me.

SO Helpful in my day to day

Honestly, this book helped me regain my power. It helped me with my anxiety by knowing what is mine and what is not mine. It helped me to reserve my energy for myself that I need and deserve. And it freed me of feelings of guilt and obligation. I am forever Thankful to Terri. For finding the courage to write this book thank you. I’ve read it twice and I think I’ll go back occasionally for a refresher.

AMAZING LIFE CHANGING

This book has changed the game for me. as someone who struggled with boundaries in the past I am now someone people refer to as a boundary boss. the practical skills given in this book help to bridge the gap from understanding you need boundaries to actually being able to put boundaries in place. 10/10 read if you want to enhance your life

Incredibly helpful

This book assisted me greatly in my continued journey to finding inner peace. Thank you Terri for reminding me that being a people pleaser is not without its flaws and that it is okay to say no.

Eye Opening and Life Changing

The information in Boundary Boss made me understand where I needed to make more changes in self discovery. It empowered me to stick with the boundaries I have in place. It taught me to trust myself. I highly recommend every woman to listen to this or read it.

Pretty basic

Few good ideas, but I would not recommend this book as it was pretty basic.
