Episode 6 – Detaching Without Drifting: Why Healthy Boundaries Are a Form of Faith
What if setting a boundary didn’t mean pushing people away… but coming back to yourself?
In this episode of Choosing to Rise, Dr. Carolyn Kennedy explores the deeper layers of detachment — not as a reaction, but as a reflection of trust, wisdom, and peace.
We’ll talk about why it’s easier to walk away when things are obviously unhealthy — and why it takes even more faith to let go of what’s quietly misaligned. From people-pleasing and slow fades to emotional disconnect and internal pressure, this episode offers honest insight and encouragement to set boundaries that reflect your growth, not just your guilt.
✨ You’ll hear:
- Why peacekeeping often leads to self-abandonment
- What it means to detach without disappearing
- How faith sometimes requires surrender, not just endurance
- A practical boundary affirmation to carry into your week
If you’ve ever struggled to protect your peace without feeling selfish, this one’s for you.
