Lena spent a decade studying why strong women still struggle to feel heard in their most important relationships. Her TEDx talk, her app HEARD, and her forthcoming book all come from the same thesis: done correctly, boundaries bring people closer together. Right now she works privately with first-time moms, because pregnancy and postpartum are the most boundary-violating season of a woman's life.
