Spoiler alert: This episode is ALL about the importance of creating and upholding boundaries – because *that* is the secret to keeping burnout at bay.
I’m discussing physical and emotional boundaries and sharing the successes I’ve seen both personally and professionally since prioritizing and maintaining my own boundaries. You’ll hear real-life examples of how I run my business and serve my clients while protecting my peace (and get a peek at what my life was like pre-boundaries), and you’ll learn what I teach my clients to do in their businesses so they can avoid burnout, too!
Even if you’re not a coach or business owner, this episode will help you see how boundaries (or a lack thereof) can impact your life and mental health, and you’ll walk away better prepared to stand up for yourself WITHOUT guilt!
