In this episode of the Mom Guilt podcast, I discuss the importance of setting boundaries in both personal and work life. I emphasize the need to differentiate between boundaries and demands and share my own experiences with phone boundaries and time blocking. I encourage you to prioritize your own needs and well-being by setting boundaries that protect your time, energy, and peace. By doing so, you can create a life you never thought possible. Tune in for practical tips on establishing and maintaining boundaries!

  • Self-compassion and Control: The episode reveals the inner work needed to maintain one's resolve in saying "no," stressing that self-compassion is pivotal for healthy boundaries.
