Description

In this episode of the Ambitious, I dive into the topic of enforcing boundaries in both business and personal life. Drawing from my experience in therapy and firsthand struggles as a notorious people pleaser, I discuss how broken boundaries often stem from never being clearly established. Learn the signs that you might be struggling with boundaries, common business scenarios reflecting this struggle, and the practical steps to enforce them. Discover my 5 C framework: Clarity, Confidence, Communication, Consistency, and Curation to effectively set and maintain boundaries, ensuring you create space for what truly matters.
