Healthy Boundaries Part 1
Feb 21, 2026
Episode 185
Terri Taylor
Feeling overwhelmed, overworked, and on-call 24/7? You might not have a workload problem, you have a boundaries problem.
In this episode of the Interior Design Business Podcast, I’m joined by IDBA Coach Marsha Sewdass for a heart-to-heart conversation on what healthy boundaries really look like in your design business. We’re talking about business hours, burnout, overgiving, and the pressure to be “Superwoman.”
If you’ve ever answered a client text at 10 p.m. or missed your kid’s soccer game because of a contractor “emergency,” this episode is your invitation to reset.
In this episode, we cover:
- What boundaries are and why they’re so hard for designers
- How to uncover your biggest energy leaks
- What burnout is trying to tell you
- The people-pleasing trap that keeps you stuck
- The difference between excellent service and self-sacrifice
- How to write your own “rules” for when and how you work
- Why boundaries make you more respected, not less
