A Potent Dose Of 3
Welcome to A Potent Dose of 3 — where medicine meets meaning.
We’re Kathy, Linda, and Jazmin, three women of color in healthcare sharing our journeys as Nurse Practitioners and a Medical Student. But this podcast is about more than stethoscopes and scrubs — it’s about healing ourselves, our families, and our communities. From therapy and mental health to navigating identity and purpose, we’re breaking generational trauma one episode at a time.
A Potent Dose Of 3
Ep. 118: I Set a Boundary—Now I'm the Enemy!
In this episode, we open up about the emotional toll of setting boundaries with close family members—especially in families where boundaries were never taught or respected. From being labeled the “bad one” to navigating guilt, shame, and cultural expectations like “respecting your elders” even when that respect isn’t mutual, we talk about how hard it can be to choose your peace over people-pleasing. We also share how therapy became a lifeline in learning to protect our mental health while still trying to love family from a distance. If you’ve ever struggled to set limits without feeling like the villain, this episode is for you.
