When your body says pause but your schedule says go, that’s where boundaries start to blur.
In this episode, I explore how body awareness helps ambitious moms create boundaries that actually hold — not from guilt, but from grounded self-leadership.
You’ll learn how interoception — your body’s internal sense — can guide you to protect your energy, realign your priorities, and lead with more clarity and less overwhelm.
1️⃣ Recognize – The “anxious-freeze” pattern that signals you’re overloaded.
2️⃣ Understand – What boundaries really are: not rigid walls, but fluid, body-based limits that protect your integrity.
3️⃣ Empower – Why personal awareness isn’t the problem — even in a system that exhausts mothers — and how body awareness equips you to thrive despite it.
4️⃣ Reset – A 30-minute “3 Quick Wins” practice to move from anxious to active in small, body-led steps.
5️⃣ Realign – How to reconnect with your career priorities and energy before saying yes.
6️⃣ Listen – The often-ignored boundary of pain: how to work with your body’s signals instead of overriding them.
7️⃣ Repair – A simple “Shame vs Signal” check for moments when you over-extend.
8️⃣ Bridge – How boundaries protect you from burnout and lead directly into next week’s topic: The Mental Load Audit.
Boundaries aren’t walls; they’re attunement — clarity that adapts with your energy, your cycle, your season of life.
They start in the body and extend into how you live, work, and lead.
If you’d like to translate these ideas into your professional life, the Realignment Starter Kit helps you set clearer boundaries at work — for more fulfillment in your career and less spill-over of stress into home life.
It walks you through mapping your role, identifying energy leaks, and communicating boundaries that hold.
