Explicit content warning

10/24/23 • 41 min

How many times has it happened to you that you get a message from a client late in the evening or maybe on a weekend and they’re asking you to do *just one thing*? And then you sigh, open up your laptop and do it? Well, I’m here to say NO MORE. In this live Zoom Room episode of the Peaceful Service Pro podcast, I’m helping you to brainstorm and set clear, strong boundaries to protect your time, sanity and energy.

Join me and a room full of powerful female service providers to discuss the boundaries that we already have and the ones that we need to set. I’m walking you through what boundaries are and why they’re so important. You’ll learn why your struggles with boundary setting might be as a result of conditioning by society. Listen out for my practical tips on the boundaries that’ll help you get paid on time and dodge that dreaded scope creep.

Thanks so much for listening love and don’t forget to message me on Instagram to tell me what 3 boundaries you’re pledging to set.
