You didn’t choose your work to become a perpetual problem-solver for everyone else’s emergencies. Yet if you’re sensitive, empathic, and committed, it can feel risky to say “no.” You care. You want to help. And still—without clear boundaries—your energy gets scattered, your priorities blur, and your confidence dips. Boundaries aren’t about distance; they’re about clarity. They honor your values and create cleaner agreements with others. In my coaching, I teach boundaries through the three pillars of Self-Awareness, Release, and Alignment so that your “no” is kind, honest, and sustainable.
