In this episode of Silent Medicine, Dr. Nnenna Ndika reflects on boundaries, burnout, overgiving, and the impact chronic stress can have on the nervous system.

This is a gentle conversation about what happens when the body carries too much for too long, and why healing sometimes begins with honoring what you can no longer continue to give away.

If boundaries have ever felt difficult, emotional, or deeply personal, this episode offers a quieter way to understand why boundaries can feel so hard... and how to protect connection without losing yourself in the process.

A thoughtful reflection on capacity, self-respect, emotional exhaustion, and sustainable giving.
