Boundaries - The Inner work you need for Success

By now, you have the tactical tools for setting boundaries. But as many high-performers discover, holding a boundary is much harder than setting one. 

You might successfully decline a meeting or close your laptop at 5PM, only to find yourself vibrating with anxiety or mentally drafting an apology. This is what I call the Boundary Hangover. 

It is the resistance that surfaces when we prioritize professional sustainability over being “the one who does it all.” In this final part of our series, we are looking at four internal barriers that stand between you and a focused, high-impact career.

The Power of the Silent Boundary. We’ve all been there: you’ve asked for what you need, yet the emails keep coming and the interruptions haven't stopped. In Part 3, we move beyond the 'ask' and into the 'do.' I’m sharing why your actions are actually your most powerful communication tool and how to use 'The Silent Language' of boundaries to protect your focus without saying a single word.

Setting a boundary isn't a confrontation; it’s an invitation for a healthier relationship. In Part 2 of our series, we explore the art of the 'Partial Boundary' and how to find the 'Sustainable Yes.' Learn how to protect your time and energy while staying connected to the people and work you love. You don't have to choose between being helpful and being healthy.

"When I sat down to write this, I fully intended for it to be one neat little blog post, succinctly discussing the essentials of boundaries. But, oh my goodness, do I have a lot to say!
