Setting Boundaries with Monthly Clients
The host discusses the importance of setting boundaries with monthly clients, particularly in relation to her upcoming wedding. She shares how she communicated with her clients about taking a break or offering a reduced service during the month of her wedding. Despite initial concerns about being perceived as lazy or uncommitted, she found that her clients understood and respected her need to prioritize her wedding. This example illustrates the importance of setting boundaries to maintain work-life balance and ensure quality service.
Establishing Boundaries Around Communication
The host reflects on the challenges of setting boundaries around communication, particularly with the use of a messaging app called Voxer. She acknowledges her tendency to be always available, responding to messages promptly even outside of designated work hours. However, she realizes that this can lead to burnout and hinders her ability to fully serve clients. As a step towards setting healthier boundaries, she commits to checking Voxer only a few times a day, with the goal of further reducing her availability in the future. This example highlights the importance of setting boundaries around communication to avoid burnout and prioritize personal well-being.
Establishing Boundaries on Social Media
The host emphasizes the need for individuals to set boundaries regarding what they share on social media. While she personally embraces vulnerability and shares various aspects of her life, she acknowledges that not everyone feels comfortable doing so. She encourages listeners to evaluate how sharing certain aspects of their lives on social media makes them feel. She suggests that individuals should share from a place of healing and empowerment, rather than from open wounds or discomfort. Similarly, she urges individuals to consider curating their social media feeds by unfollowing or muting accounts that trigger negative emotions or comparisons. This segment highlights the importance of setting boundaries in terms of social media usage and content sharing.
