EP286 This Is a Boundary Too: The Small Daily Choices That Set the Tone for Your Life

In this episode, we’re exploring the invisible ways boundary issues show up in our everyday routines - especially in how we manage time, energy, and expectations. Most of us think of boundaries as things we set with other people, but what about the quiet, internal boundaries we often ignore? Like the ones that involve being realistic about what we can actually get done, or giving ourselves time to rest, think, and reset?

You’ll hear a fresh take on how things like over-planning, skipping buffer time, and pushing through exhaustion aren’t just bad habits - they’re symptoms of boundary blind spots. We’ll dig into what’s really going on when you feel behind, overwhelmed, or frustrated with yourself—and how small mindset shifts around time and planning can make a big difference in how you feel and function.

Three Takeaways

1.    Boundaries aren’t just for relationships, they also show up in how you treat your time, your schedule, and your capacity.

2.    There’s often a gap between what we expect of ourselves and what’s actually humanly possible - and ignoring that gap creates daily stress.

3. Confidence and calm don’t come from doing more, they come from creating space for what matters most.

 

 

Overloading yourself

isn’t strength –

it’s

self-abandonment.
