“I want to change the conversation around boundaries,” says Febel. “Too often, we see boundaries as barriers that push people away, but in reality, they’re meant to be the glue that strengthens relationships. In fact, show me a relationship that’s struggling, and I’ll show you one where healthy boundaries are likely missing.”

Febel’s approach goes beyond traditional advice by focusing on the importance of language in setting boundaries effectively.

“If standing up for yourself is causing friction or leading to lost relationships, it’s often because the right language is missing,” Febel explains. “In this book, I explore not only the ‘who’ and ‘what’ of boundaries but teach specific linguistic tools that help readers set boundaries effectively, without damaging their relationships or feeling like a total jerk.”

  • The Trigger Neutralizer: a step-by-step guide to transform the most challenging people in your life into your best boundary-setting allies.

“Many believe that feeling overwhelmed or burned out are just side effects of modern society,” says Febel. “I disagree. This book is about reclaiming your power and rediscovering hope through the art of setting boundaries.”
