Episode notes

When you work in a company there's an expectation on your team is that the leader or the manager can call on anyone in the team at any given time. I'm thinking back to a past part of my life where many many years ago I worked in a giant firm in New York City and it was expected that you would work you know 80 100 hours a week. That actually ended up putting me in the hospital because I honored that norm but I had never drawn my old boundaries. How do we create truly engaging work environments? If people just work 40 they'd be as productive as if they were working 90.

We want to hear from YOU! Take our survey.

These last few years have tested our boundaries on nearly every level. Work, friendship, family, community, geography, politics, religion, social issues, love, and well-being. It’s like we’re being asked to draw lines, all day, every day. Question is, how? How do you create and uphold boundaries that are clear, healthy, and constructive, while also acknowledging the nuance, kindness, and understanding this moment demands?

Well, my guest today, Nedra Glover Tawwab, can help. A licensed therapist and sought-after relationship expert, she has practiced relationship therapy for 12 years and is the founder and owner of the group therapy practice, Kaleidoscope Counseling. Every day she helps people create healthy relationships by teaching them how to implement boundaries. Her philosophy is that a lack of boundaries and assertiveness underlie most relationship issues, and her gift is helping people create healthy relationships with themselves and others. Nedra is also the author of the New York Times Bestselling book, Set Boundaries, Find Peace: A Guide to Reclaiming Yourself, and The Set Boundaries Workbook: Practical Exercises for Understanding Your Needs and Setting Healthy Limits.
