[Podcast] Having Boundaries Isn't The Same As Enforcing Them

Published 9 months ago • 1 min read

Reader,

As a working mom, it's all about having boundaries right?
​
We've heard this 100x already.
​
So why are working women and moms still struggling with work-life balance?
​
It comes down to what we know and what we do.
​
This week, I talk about one thing that helps me do all that I do as a full-time working mom, wife, and business owner:
​
​Boundaries
​
​There's a world of difference between having them (what we know) and enforcing them (what we do).
​​
Having them is easy. Enforcing them? Not so easy.

Hi Reader, It's August 2025 - the start of my 12-month experiment to lean into and do what scares me but that I know it's the right thing for me to do. Not anyone else, just me.
