Summer Friday: The Boundaries You Forget to Set
What if burnout isn’t only about how much you’re doing — but how much you’re still carrying that could be shared?
In this Summer Friday bonus, we’re continuing our conversation with Karen Ann Dwyer-Tesoriero from Episode 112 and digging into the boundaries we often forget to set — at work and at home.
We talk about how your physical work environment can quietly drain your focus, why protecting your time sometimes means changing how and where you work, and how easily responsibilities at home can pile onto one person.
Karen also challenges us to rethink “delegation” as sharing the load — whether that means giving kids age-appropriate responsibilities, having weekly check-ins with your partner, or making sure one person isn’t carrying the mental load for the entire household.
Because self-care isn’t just about finding more time for yourself. Sometimes it starts with deciding what you no longer need to manage alone.
In this episode:
If Episode 112 had you thinking about what you need to let go of at work, this Summer Friday is your reminder to look at what you’re still carrying everywhere else.
