You told yourself you’d stop checking email after dinner…But somehow, it’s 11pm again, and your laptop is still open.
If you’re a high-achieving leader who wants to set healthy boundaries at work, but you keep getting pulled back in out of fear you’ll drop the ball, this episode is for you.
We’re talking about what’s really behind the late-night work cycle, and why most leadership advice about work/life balance completely misses the mark.
You’ll hear the story of an executive coaching client who went from anxiety and overworking to clear, confident boundaries, and how a simple body-based practice helped her rebuild self-trust without rigid rules.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why discipline isn’t your problem—and what is
- The deeper reason high performers break their own boundaries
- What healthy boundaries actually look like when you’re responsible for results
- How to reset your nervous system with the Sunshine Exercise
- A simple self-reflectio
- n question to guide your next boundary decision
This isn’t about doing less.
It’s about leading from self-trust and self-connection—not fear or survival mode.
