This week on Call Me Hopeful, comedian Kenny Sebastian talks to us about therapy, people-pleasing and what he did to get better at setting his boundaries.

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.
