Devi and Erin discuss:

How to establish healthy boundaries in your business The impact of not setting healthy boundaries How to have difficult conversations around boundaries Knowing the intended outcome behind your boundary conversation How to communicate when you are ending a relationship with a client Owning your part of a relationship “Being messy and cleaning things up later” What to do when people choose to test your boundaries How Erin sets boundaries around personal time with her kids Powerful agreements that create powerful relationships Choosing the relationships that we want to have Creating the space for your “why” Letting go of the desire to multitask Reverse engineering your business from the lifestyle that you want to create Setting office hours Not trying to “mom” and “work” at the same time Putting your phone in the drawer Setting boundaries around work/life balance Creating dedicated time to “fill back up” and have personal self-care Using a scheduler, like Acuity Scheduling “Book it” to make it happen Creating clarity around who you are willing to work within your business Setting boundaries in the beginning of the relationship and only working with the people that you are here to serve Creating powerful copy and branding that comes from you being yourself Not allowing your branding to create a barrier between you and your ideal clients Being delighted in being yourself Moving from “It is not personal, it’s business” to “It is not business, it is personal” How to set boundaries in the online space The need for both boundaries and blurred lines Knowing “who you are for” and “who you are not for” How to find your own voice in your copy by sharing what you like Using copy to automatically set the boundaries around who you want to work with How humor is such an underrated tool in spirituality Be curious about what is interesting for you and always assume that someone will find it interesting, fun or inspirational The number one boundary that Erin set in her business and life that made the most difference for her Acting on the red flags that you are overlooking Watching out for the victim mentality The importance of keeping going and not settling Why “clumsy grace”
