Boundaries for Your Finite Vessel
Boundaries as Navigation
You cannot pour from an empty cup, yet the world often expects us to have an infinite supply of energy. In Week 4, we tackle the reality of capacity. We move from “Direction” (Week 3) to “Fuel,” learning to treat our energy as a precious, limited resource.
In this episode, we explore:
The Internal Battery: Why “existing” with a disability costs more energy (“The Energetic Cost”) and how to budget for the “Background Apps” you are running.
Managing Urgency Culture: Differentiating between a true emergency (danger) and someone else’s poor planning (inconvenience).
The Buffer Menu: Specific scripts to buy yourself time, including “The Calendar Check” and “Navigation Mode.”
The Internal Metronome: A somatic tool to slow your heart rate when the world tries to rush you.
High-Stakes Advocacy: Using the “Broken Record” technique to hold boundaries with doctors and systems. Connect with Coach Kaila:
