Setting Boundaries That Stick

Welcome to the How to Build a Sustainable Business Series of the Prosper & Flourish Podcast!

This short series is in Honor of  National Women's Small Business Month, and we are highlighting Building a Sustainable Business That Doesn't Burn You Out.

As our boundaries coach, Cherlette guides listeners through having difficult conversations with confidence. We talk about "Real Mom Moments" like boundary-setting struggles, boundary wins, and Cherlette provides action steps for establishing or reinforcing crucial boundaries.


Boundaries to consider:

  • solid working hours
  • dedicated moments of pause throughout the day
  • off limits areas for work/sacred spaces


Remember ....

  • it is ok to ask for support
  • emotional boundaries: you are not responsible for managing everyones reactions
  • proximity does not mean engagement and connection
  • boundaries are for healthy relationships 


3 affirmations for moms:

  1. I can be fully present at home and fully powerful in business
  2. Boundaries don’t limit me, they sustain me
  3. I can't pour from an empty cup and I am no longer trying to

    Environmental Wellness- our home and our bodies

    Environmental wellness inspires us to live a lifestyle that avoids the toxins that are destroying our health and encourages us to live in harmony with the Earth by taking action to protect it. The goal is to simplify and purify our lives.

    Conventional medicine does not acknowledge toxicity as an important health issue, but numerous studies have shown this to be the underlying cause of many chronic symptoms experienced today, like obesity, fatigue, reproductive health issues, hormone imbalances, mental fog, memory loss, sleep disturbances and the rising rates of cancer.

    Just as your house collects dust and dirt, so does your body.  Our bodies are contaminated with the environmental toxins and chemicals we come into contact with every day.  There are the obvious toxins, such as mercury, lead, and arsenic.  But did you know toxins can come from candles and plug ins, household cleaners, paper products, food containers, our food and personal care products?

    We have two homes, our bodies and the earth. We have to be committed to taking care of both.

    Physical Wellness- developing healthful habits that stick

    Physical Wellness is the ability to maintain a healthy quality of life that allows us to get through our daily activities without undue fatigue or physical stress. 

    It’s the ability to recognize that our behaviors have a significant impact on our wellness and by adopting healthful habits like routine check ups, eating a balanced diet, and moving our bodies, while avoiding destructive habits like smoking, doing drugs, and excessive alcohol consumption we can achieve what our version of optimal Physical Wellness looks like for each of us.

    Optimizing our physical wellness improves the quality of our life, and may keep us from getting sick.
