Youâve been working with seamless efficiency all day to make sure youâre out the office door no later than 5:15 today.Â
Youâre rockinâ it âcause youâve got plans.Â
A hot date. Your kidâs first piano recital. A full-body massage youâve been looking forward to for weeks.Â
But, just as youâre packing up to leave, your boss walks through the door with an urgent request. Itâll mean canceling your plans.Â
Itâs not like youâre surprised...she does it all the time.Â
So, what do you do?Â
You love your job but youâre really tired of making plans only to have your excitement pummeled at the last minute.Â
âHelp!!!!!â you think to yourself in desperation.Â
Then, out of nowhere, your hero Boundary Babe swoops in to save the day! Time stops as your boss stands waiting at the door for an answer.Â
âYou called?â she says, outfitted in her shimmery lycra with a âBâ emblazoned on the lapel of her cape.Â
âI didnât realize it, but yea...I need to set a boundary here!â you say, exasperated and relieved.Â
Ahhhh, if only it were as simple as calling on a superhero...
But, you wanna know a secret?Â
Setting boundaries doesnât require superpowers. And theyâre easier than you might think.
In this weekâs episode, Karlee introduces a month of boundary breakthroughs thatâll help you rescue yourself from the need to be all things to all people- especially in the workplace. Sheâll help you identify where boundaries might be missing in your work relationships, and give you a simple set of questions to ask yourself so that you can aptly identify the kind of boundary thatâs being called for.Â
Boundaries are the bridge between you and what it is that you value. If thereâs something keeping those things apart, then itâs time to talk about bridging the gap.Â
If youâre ready to shed the resentment, conquer the fatigue, do away with underappreciation, and stop over-committing yourself, then this boundary-setting episode is for you.
