Setting Boundaries

I’m excited to share that I recently started a new job (woohoo!) As I step into this new role, I’ve been reminded just how important boundaries are—not just with others, but with myself. Even in the first week, old stories and imposter syndrome crept in, bringing stress and anxiety along for the ride.

I recently shared this reflection in my private Facebook community (you can join us here if you’d like). The truth is, honoring your boundaries is an act of self-respect—and it sets the tone for how others treat you, too.

Arianna Huffington said it beautifully in a recent post: “Boundaries aren’t just about saying no—they’re about saying yes to what really matters.” In the workplace, that might mean ending your day on time, resisting the urge to over-explain, or protecting your headspace from that inner critic.

3 Ways to Strengthen Your Boundaries This Week:

1. ✅ Set a work cut-off time—and honor it.

2. 🧘‍♀️ Start your day with intention (try breathwork, journaling, or a quick meditation).

3. 🗣 Notice your self-talk—would you speak to a friend that way?

Here’s to setting boundaries that support your success and well-being.
