About this listen

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.

Critic reviews

“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)

Most therapeutic book I ever read!

This was so helpful to me as an overgiver! I feel like I put three years of internal work into the course of the time to read this book (one year). You must take breaks and be kind to yourself while reading because this is hard work but it will really change your life forever like she says! I highly recommend for people with disordered boundaries! I love that she empowered us and held us accountable for our shit! Thank you!

SO GOOD I bought a paperback copy too

I’ve never needed to hear something so much and this came at just the right time. I ended up buying a physical copy shortly after getting into the audio because I want to have this available to reference later. It’s SO GOOD!

The way she blends a perfect mix of lessons, stories, and examples helped me see so clearly exactly where I need boundaries, that I CAN do this, and helped me feel enough compassion for myself to WANT to do this. I started having some of the hard conversations and doing the exercises since and they WORK. It’s already positively changing my self concept and relationships, some for better and some to say goodbye. Highly recommend this book!!

A must read for any woman who puts themselves last

Terri's book has literally transformed my life. Her soothing voice and straight forward talk has helped me shed the weight of overfunctioning and always putting myself last. I couldn't be happier with the purchase. I bought the hard copy as well!

Game Changer!

I just finished listening to Boundary Boss and plan to do it again. If you have been living with disordered boundaries, the information here is insight and a road map to healing. I have been inspired to embrace life fully, and completely myself because I have learned that my preferences, desires and limitations matter. That living my truth is to embrace myself and the people I love. I'm so excited to get to work. Grab your journal and buckle up, this one is a game changer!

Fabulous book, life changing

Terri Cole has built on her brilliant podcast skills and produced a book which is beautifully organized and presents life changing strategies in easily-accessible ways. Even those of us who have some decent boundary skills benefit tremendously from this book. I certainly have! And those of us who haven’t thought about how problems in our lives stem from lacking boundary-setting skills need it now! Because of this book, I am well in my way to being a BB. Thank you, Terri!!

Boundary Bible

I have read hundreds of self help books and never written a review before now. Everyone needs to read and practice these golden principles. It should be taught in school and if not, at the very least, in college. Even those who have good boundaries will greatly benefit from this material. For those with weak boundaries it is absolutely essential for a healthier and happier life, lived with integrity. I wish I had this many years ago. As a mental health counselor, I will recommend this book to my clients (and possibly require it at times). It not only explains but it also guides you in HOW to live in alignment with your own values and create more peace in the world, beginning with you.
