So You Want to Set Boundaries? ft. @KennySebastian | Call Me Hopeful

This week on Call Me Hopeful, comedian Kenny Sebastian talks to us about therapy, people pleasing and what he did in order to get better with setting his boundaries. Because what he was trying to avoid by saying yes, happened anyway. Now on level 27 of setting boundaries, Kenny reflects on the dynamic nature of the boundaries, the balance he has had to strike within our cultural setting and the contentment he’s achieved by embarking on this journey.

Ira khan and Kenny, the collab we didn't know we needed!!!

[iamkritisonkar]

16:39 what I have always loved about Kenny is how he's always so aware of his audience's psyche and addresses it without missing a beat. Listening to him talk always makes me think and retrospect and it's honestly so fulfilling.

[jkorad_tube]

They are covering what Indian education system failed to do. Keep it up guys, more power to you!

[jayshreedas]

More love to Kenny! And thanks Swaddle for inviting him

[bellhooked]

These episodes are so great. I'd love for Ira to have a conversation about privelege and class anxieties.

[jeebanjyotibarik]

It felt like I really needed this as a people pleasure and being sometimes victim of it

[ghanaviraj]

Love this! Felt like I was hearing myself talk everytime Kenny expressed things he struggled with, socially!

[bryancmathew]

This just made me sit and think about my feelings

[zoomiezo]

Kenny is why I know about therapy and it's been 3 yrs since I started 🫶

[divyeshvijayakar]

Setting boundaries 😢 so important to hear this.

[AwaniIngle]

For me setting boundaries is very easy with people I know like family and friends. But with strangers they straightaway think I am rude, which I really do not care. Im grateful for the best family and friends I have.

[tanzinamanzur]
