How To Set Boundaries: Stop Suffering in Silence

When do you speak up—and how do you do it without blowing up the relationship, friendship, or workplace? In this episode of What’s A Good Guy, Don and LaShawn break down pain tolerance as a metaphor for boundaries, men’s mental health, and the real cost of wellness. From Rose-Bud-Thorn check-ins to Stretch Lab takeaways, doctor visits, and family reflections, this is a candid conversation about communication, recovery, and self-advocacy—before things hit “10.”

We unpack how to set boundaries early, advocate for yourself at work, navigate nonchalant partners, and avoid “suffering in silence.” You’ll hear actionable language for real-time check-ins (“I’m at a 6—slow down”), how to keep jokes from crossing lines, and why saying “no” is sometimes the most loving answer. We also touch on grief, holiday family time, healing injuries, and the reality that wellness is expensive—but neglect costs more.

If you’ve ever asked “How do I tell them without killing the vibe?” this is your playbook.
