S2 E4: Setting Boundaries: Navigating Family Dynamics with Allison Ly

We talk about boundaries all the time, it’s a word we often throw around and have some idea about what it means.

Yet putting it into practice tends to be a whole other thing. Our host, TJ Wey, reflects on how zhe understands and has a great understanding of the concept of boundaries, yet when it comes to practicing it with zir family, that’s just really difficult to implement.

Our guest, Allison Ly, is a therapist with her own practice and soon-to-be course creator, who is an expert on setting and implementing boundaries, especially within the Asian community.

This episode explores:

  • Allison's upcoming course on boundaries and its significance for first and second-generation Asian American adults. The conversation delves into the challenges of setting boundaries within Asian families and the importance of self-reflection.


  • We discuss the misconception that setting boundaries means cutting people off and highlight alternative approaches to preserve relationships.


  • The episode concludes with a reflection on the need for more options and awareness of the choices available to navigate complex family dynamics.


If you are someone who is trying to implement boundaries with your very Asian family, this is an episode for you.


"A myth that I think it's really important to talk about is that boundaries and really setting limits doesn't have to involve cutting people off, but it could just be like a pause. It could be we're not talking about this thing. And that is to preserve the actual relationship, right if we want to."
