From People-Pleasing to Boundaries: Creating Internal Safety | Barb Nangle
Description
Barb Nangle is a boundaries coach, speaker, author, and host of the Fragmented to Whole podcast. After decades of therapy and personal development, she discovered that lasting change wasn’t about gaining more insight — it was about creating internal safety.
Today, she helps women build healthy boundaries, stop overgiving, and develop stronger relationships with themselves and others.
In this honest conversation, Barb shares:
• How her childhood looked “normal” but left her without emotional safety
• Unhealthy coping skills she developed young
• What she wishes her younger self understood about boundaries
• Why adults can still learn boundaries even if they were never taught
• How 12-step recovery and codependence work led her to this path
• Her Inner Safety Skill Building Method for lasting change
If you’re in your 20s (or beyond) tired of people-pleasing, overgiving, or struggling to set boundaries, this episode offers practical hope and real tools.
