The Power of Boundaries: A Must-Listen Episode of The Mentorship Blueprint 

Phoenix, AZ April 22, 2025.- In the latest episode of The Mentorship Blueprint, host Mark Garcia sits down with longtime mentor Cherry Collins to explore a critical—but often under-discussed—aspect of mentorship: boundaries

Cherry has mentored three youth through New Pathways for Youth and brings a deep well of wisdom, vulnerability, and practical insights to the conversation. With honesty and heart, she shares her journey of learning how to hold boundaries—with her mentees, with their families, and perhaps most importantly, with herself. 

Throughout the episode, Cherry reflects on how uncomfortable it can be to set limits—but also how essential it is for trust, growth, and sustainability in mentoring relationships. Listeners will hear powerful, real-life examples of how boundaries helped her guide mentees through tough situations, honor her own needs, and support youth in learning to set their own limits. 

From navigating family expectations to finding balance in giving time and energy, Cherry’s story is both deeply relatable and refreshingly actionable. Whether you’re just beginning your mentoring journey or have years of experience, this episode offers grounding guidance and encouragement to keep showing up—with clarity and care.
