I found this podcast and am working my way through every episode. It is booth soothing and practical in helping me to learn about and set boundaries.

Love this show and so glad I found it. She’s brilliant.

When Vicki speaks about boundaries she always anchors the information within the context of life. She doesn’t drop seemingly random advice and then leave the listener to figure it out in their own. Vicki shares the why and the how, gives examples and really makes the process feel doable.

I’ve read a lot about boundaries. Vicki does an awesome job on giving a solid foundation, then layering the information, and diving into details on how to use each of the tools she suggests. I find myself listening to a number of episodes over and over. Please keep going!

Over last 2 months I’ve listened to all podcasts (1-143) wish it didn’t end. Vicki has become a trusted friend. 🥰

This is a foundation of relationship skill info delivered in a calm and caring way. Thank you Vicki!! What a gift these podcasts are!

Thank you Vicki. You’re podcast has been so beneficial in my journey from people pleasing/codependency to reclaiming my personal power and creating an emotionally safe space. This episode has confirmed that I am on the right track in my boundary work.

I would leave less than a one but it’s not an option. You lost me at your pro vaccine ramblings and discouraging people using their critical thinking skills.

Just listening to two of these podcast episodes healed me from a very hard conversation I had with another person. Thank you Vicki, I am so happy I found a podcast that has given me the information I need to do the work of creating healthy boundaries.

Listening to this podcast is like watching fireworks. In every episode, there’s a statement that lights up my brain.

I was excited to listen to my first episode and happened to choose #137. I could not finish the episode because of the incorrect way triangulation was being discussed. Triangulation is not a method of communication where you use someone else as a messenger instead of speaking directly to them. Triangulation is about coming to a decision using 3 sources of information, analogous to how physicists do. Ray Dalio explains it well in “Principles” and gives some solid examples.

This podcast has been so transformative in my healing process. Thank you so much for making this information so accessible. I recommend this show to so many girlfriends who need this empowerment too! Thanks so much! ❤️

For far too long I’ve considered myself to be a timid people pleaser. This podcast (along with regular therapy) have helped me realize I too can stand up for myself and use boundaries in a way that serve me. Thankful to be a part of this community.

I have been in counseling for a bit now and couldn’t shake off all the anger and resentment that I had bottled inside, yes I was the Codependent Queen!!! I was asking God for help. And then you divinely delivered this awesome lesson. I have listened to this episode, 142, over and over and even wrote it in my journal. The points are priceless. I can take it to my counselor now and begin to heal with clarity. I have used “power over” as a codependent and people pleaser but now I can work on Authentic Personal Power. Please keep going!!!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom!!!!

The host of this podcast is helpful, professional, and insightful. I’m going through a strange time right now and the hosts’ concepts of boundaries (both in how I allow others to relate to me and vice versa) is helping me cope and plan for how I want my life to look. I hope people don't underestimate, and perhaps miss, the value of the podcast by the playful but flippant title! I’ve listened to a lot of podcasts during this stage of my life, and the content and host of this podcast get 5 stars. Thank you for your work.

I can’t get enough of this woman. This podcast is changing how I think, feel, and communicate.

I just found this podcast and 1-30 are not available. Please add them as I’d like to begin this podcast from the beginning.

I cannot see the first 15 episodes and she just said it’s foundational to the podcast. Please fix this

Everyone can benefit from this podcast. Boundaries keep us safe and healthy! Thankful for her knowledge.

Vicki clearly explains boundaries and gives ample examples for clarity. I wish I had known this information 25 years ago! Grateful to be learning it now. 💜

I just found this podcast and I’ve listen to a couple of episodes and I’ve already taken copious notes! As a woman who has constantly battled with codependency and finding her worth in other people, this is a great tool in my toolbox for building confidence and living on my own self worth! Brilliant!

I am obsessed with this podcast. Someone told me about it this Spring and I have been getting so much out of it that I went right back to the beginning. I’ve also been raving about to others. Thank you!! It’s so enlightening.

I love the host. This is such a refreshing podcast — and she really puts things into perspective!!!

This podcast has truly changed my life. My perspectives are clearer and I give a lot more thought before I react, and that allows me to maintain my power in certain situations. Mrs. Palmer is amazing and I look forward to a new episode every week. Blessings to you!

I’m really enjoying this podcast but episode 1 no longer seems to be available. Host refers to it later as essential for understanding so would like to listen to it. I also appreciate that episode numbers are placed in front of the title, which makes it easy to line them up in queue.

When I tell my friends about the Beyond Bitchy podcast, many roll their eyes. Another women’s podcast complaining about men and how they screw their lives up. But no, the BB podcast is for everyone!! I learned about this wonderful boundary learning resource at a one week retreat at the Meadows in Arizona. I admit I was skeptical at first, but WOW, what a useful podcast this is!! If you want to learn about boundary setting skills, this is the only place to go. Each episode brings a fresh look at boundaries and a variety of settings. I’ve listened to episodes over and over to learn the basic skills and how to use the boundary setting tools. I’ve gained confidence and more self esteem as I work through life’s situations. I grew up in a dysfunctional family where there were no boundaries and no one to model healthy behavior. At 62, I’m a man, finally getting healthy and “growing up”. I highly recommend Vicki and the BB podcast. Try it, you’ll see!!

I love this podcast. I’ve learned a lot new insights about boundaries.

While trying to heal betrayal trauma I have struggled learning about boundaries. This podcast gives you every detail you need to know about what boundaries are, and what they aren’t. And how to set boundaries and then hold them. I would have been lost if it wasn’t for Beyond Bitchy.

I have learned so much about negotiating, setting and maintaining boundaries from Vicki. As a ‘survivor’ of betrayal this has been so helpful for me.

This podcast began at a time in my life when I really needed to uplevel my boundaries. It has been life-changing and I encourage everyone to start at episode 1 and work through them all in order. My girlfriends and I refer to Vicki on a first name basis. She is such a gift to our tribe!

This podcast helps bring me back to center. Thank you!

The Mother-in-Law podcast is EXACTLY my situation. Ive stopped trying to please her or invite her to do things with me. Ive set boundaries with her. This has bring so much emotional freedom! She is spot on!!!

Vicki Tidwell Palmer goes into great detail about pretty much any question you could have about boundaries. She also does it in a very calming and empowering way making you feel like this is something you can do. I love basically everything about this podcast and am so glad it was recommended to me.

I started listening almost two years ago when I was at a very low place. Beyond Bitchy (great name) really helped me get clarity and find peace on setting firm boundaries and totally changed me. I’m healthier thanks to this podcast and the free boundary clarifier. Not only that, I’ve made distance because some people simply could not respect my boundaries. The loss hurt, but I’ve gained a safe workplace, a healthy relationship, and more energy for relationships that honor both me and the other person. Most importantly, I have a better relationship with myself. 2 years later I am being stalked and harassed by someone who could not respect my boundaries back then. Seeing how my loved ones react to this man’s behavior (he’s targeting them too now) and total lack of boundaries has really woken me up to just how far I’ve come and how much I’ve saved myself by setting clear boundaries and making distance when they aren’t respected. Best of all, this podcast is helping me take care of myself and manage the stress from this ongoing harassment. Thank you Vicki Tidwell Palmer!

This podcast helped me to put in boundaries I so desperately needed to but didn’t feel capable. I feel so empowered after listening to each episode. Thank you, Vicki!

Wow! This information and education will surely be one of the most powerful tools in my emotional “tool box”. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. This is changing lives.

I started at the very first episode to learn all the basics of boundaries. I was shocked at how little I actually knew and am so, so grateful for this resource to expand my skills. I love the part that says, “I hope you can get the space you need and the connection you crave,” it puts boundaries in a positive light.

I’m really enjoying this podcast. It is really helping me to uncover my areas for growth. Her voice is comforting. I’m learning a lot.

I was searching for a podcast to listen to while trying to deal with the feeling of angst that I get while trying to deal with my mom....especially around the holidays. This has been so helpful already.

Love the podcast, but I have to be honest lately I’m struggling with the weird obsession about men vs women. Can we just talk about people? I truly appreciate the monthly episode about women and boundaries because it is a sad reality that women have their boundaries violated FAR more than males and male presenting people. But the way I see it, if we frame boundaries talk in a “this is what women are like” and “this is what men are like” we are a) erasing nonbinary people, and b) creating this way of thinking that is ridiculously black and white, when there is a world of nuance in between that we’re leaving out. Besides that, and perhaps Vicki’s privilege showing a little too much every now and then, it’s a wonderful podcast that has taught me an immense amount and given me perspective and many tools which have helped me improve my relationships across the board.

Vicki is a great speaker. I have immense difficulty with boundaries, and I can already tell that the content of her podcast is going to make a huge difference for me!

Great podcast about setting and maintaining boundaries ! Very needed

Thank you so much, Vicki! You are so insightful and smart. I’ve learned so much from your podcasts. A real life changer.

Your podcast has validated some boundaries I made due to intense feelings, and I’ve gotten some great tips. Thank you. I’m just wondering why you don’t do the intro yourself? Yours isn’t the only female podcast where there is a male voice at the beginning. I look for female voices specifically. Thanks again.

There’s a lot of good stuff in here but I find the format of one person just speaking a bit hard to follow. It sounds a bit rambly. I feel an interviewer that could structure the content more would help convey the information in a more digestible format.

I have found this podcast to be life changing for me. I feel like I’ve been going through a bit of a mid life crisis lately and looking for ways I can start to live the life I desire instead of being such a people pleaser. I love how she simplifies the concepts & steps of boundary work. I’m only 12 sessions in & cant wait to listen to more. I’m telling everyone I know about it. Thanks for sharing your gifts with us!

Overall, I think this podcast is good, and I’m learning helpful information, but it’s always disappointing when any health care professional let alone a mental health care professional uses stigmatizing terms like “drug addict” when describing people who use drugs. There are style guides available to discuss and describe people who have substance use disorder (SUD), a diagnosable mental illness on the DSM-V. Also, literature shows the negative effects of stigma that language like “addict” and “alcoholic” perpetuates, including shutting people out of health care that people so desperately need.

I absolutely love this... I needed the Avoiders one big time! I struggle with close people in my life who are and this was such good truth to hear. Thank you for sharing your eloquent intelligence. I have been reading the book called Boundaries by Cloud and Townsend but I love that I can get a quick straight to the point principles and practical tips for learning the art of boundaries. This is just brilliant and I love everything to do with psychology and how people tick and why and personalities and how we grew up. I am just listening to it constantly so I can learn as much as I can, as I need them in my own life being an extreme extrovert, I feel my type are those who need to learn boundaries the most. Thank you again and I adore this podcast!

Coming from a narcissist upbringing and having several (at the least) unhealthy relationships.... this has been so eye opening to hear how I can keep myself healthy and not try to control others. This has been extremely helpful and I have only listened to 3 episodes! Thank you so much!!!!

Coming from an upbringing with a narcissistic parent, boundaries were always crossed. As an adult, the lack of healthy boundaries were a huge problem and I did not know just how much I continually let everyone in my life cross them. This podcast gives you real life tools and meaningful insight on how to clarify what is appropriate when it comes to boundaries. I would love an episode to listen to that shows a habitual boundary crosser how to turn there behavior around. My DH grew up with a mother who does this constantly and I’m afraid he thinks this behavior is normal. Would love for him to hear how it effects people around him.
