Are you exhausted from holding everything together—at work, at home, in your head—and still feeling like it’s not enough?
You’re not alone. So many high-achievers are secretly overwhelmed, constantly on, and silently wondering, “Is this really what leadership is supposed to feel like?”
In this powerful episode of Today’s Balanced Leader, I take you on a 90-minute journey to shift that narrative. You’ll learn how setting boundaries isn’t about pushing people away—it’s about reclaiming your time, your energy, and your voice.
We’ll unpack the myths that keep you stuck in overwork, explore the neuroscience of stress and over-functioning, and walk through a 4-step boundary framework that transforms how you live and lead.
I’ll share real client stories, personal truths, and tools you can implement immediately—including your very own Personal Boundary Map.
