Many of us know that we need to do a better job expressing our needs, wants, desires, and preferences, but we don't know how to start the conversation or do it in a productive, positive way. 

If, like me, you suffer from being a chronic -people pleaser, this episode is for you!
I dive deep into the art of setting healthy boundaries – a game-changer for teachers who want to avoid burnout and rediscover their work-life balance. 🏋️‍♀️💪

Why Boundaries Matter for Teachers

Setting boundaries isn't about building walls – it's about creating lanes that allow you to navigate your professional and personal life with confidence. By establishing clear expectations and limits, you're not only protecting your well-being but also fostering healthier relationships with colleagues, students, and administrators. 🤝

I will cover the 12 Essential Rules for setting healthier boundaries at school and at home. Key concepts include:

🎯  Setting boundaries is a loving act, both for yourself and others.

🎯  Start with small, manageable boundaries and build up your confidence.

🎯  Use "I" statements to express your needs without putting others on the defensive.

🎯  Be prepared to enforce your boundaries, but always do so with grace and professionalism.

I give you all the details you need to start setting healthier boundaries TODAY.
Remember, dear teachers: You have the right to a balanced life! By implementing these boundary-setting strategies, you're not just improving your own well-being – you're setting a powerful example for your students and your teaching colleagues. ✨
