Milestone 3: Systems, Traps, & The Black Tax
A boundary set with love isn't a wall. It's a promise to your future self and to everyone you want to still be there for years from now.
Setting a boundary doesn't mean you love your people less. It means you're serious about being there for them — and for yourself — long term.
The financial and relational pulls that come with the Black Tax are real. And most people navigate them without a plan, which means they're deciding in the moment, under pressure, with someone they love waiting on an answer. That's not a position that leads to good decisions for anyone.
The Boundary Builder is not about becoming less generous. It's about getting clear on what you can actually sustain — so that when you give, it's a real yes, not a reluctant one that costs you something you needed.
