Episode 2: Survive: Building Your Foundational Boundaries
Ever found yourself saying yes when you should have said not today? In this episode, I share a story from early in my career where blurred lines between two workplaces left me doing double the workload, and burning myself out in the process.
This was the wake-up call that led me to create my Boundaries Pyramid:
Survive → your bare minimum, starting point boundaries
Sustain → boundaries that keep you steady over time
Thrive → boundaries embedded in all areas of your life
In today’s episode, we’re diving into Survive boundaries, the small, foundational practices that help you protect your time and energy.
You’ll hear:
✨ How people-pleasing and blurred boundaries tripped me up across multiple workplaces
✨ What survive boundaries actually look like in real life (think: logging off on time, taking proper breaks, and sticking to your workdays)
✨ Why blurred boundaries create resentment, and how to start untangling them
✨ A simple micro-challenge you can try this week to strengthen one boundary in your own life
Boundaries aren’t selfish, they’re the foundation that sustain us in the helping professions.
