[00:11:04] Be aware of actions and information given. Notice how someone behaves in different situations. Manipulation and deceit are red flags. Don't make excuses until it's out of control. Hot temper shows lack of self control and emotional-driven behavior.

[00:20:24] Setting boundaries benefits communication, mental health, self-esteem, independence, identity, and filters out toxic relationships. It prevents people from taking advantage of you.
