In this episode of the Freelance Unlocked Podcast, I had the pleasure of chatting with Mary Seid about a topic very close to my heart: boundaries! We all know how tough it can be to set and maintain boundaries with clients, and Mary taught me so much during this super insightful (and fun) conversation. 

Mary also shared some great advice for freelancers with agency backgrounds, including how she was able to keep freelancing with her agency even after leaving her full-time job there.
