Manage episode 449967389 series 3564412
In this episode, we’re diving deep into boundaries—what they really mean, why we need them, and how they can save our sanity. From managing work hours to establishing non-negotiable routines, I’m sharing the four main ways I set boundaries to balance my family, my 9-5, and my side hustle without losing my mind (most days, at least!).
If you’ve been feeling pulled in a million directions or like you’re constantly multitasking, this episode is for you. By the end, you’ll have some simple strategies to automate tasks, create routines, and protect your time so you can finally find some flow in your day-to-day. Plus, you’ll get some real-life examples (and a few boundary struggles!) that might just inspire you to set some new ones for yourself.
In This Episode, We’ll Talk About:
- Why boundaries don’t have to be strict or negative—they’re actually a form of self-care
- The power of automation (and how it can give you back time in your week!)
- Setting boundaries around your work hours so you’re more productive and present
- Creating morning and evening routines that simplify your day
