The Way She Leads

2. Boundaries Won’t Save You… Until You Do This First


Listen Later

If you’ve ever been told to “just set better boundaries”…and then you totally chicken out, this episode is for you.

I’m joined by a boundary coach Janis Hillard, founder of Good Courage, and someone who brings both depth and honesty to a topic that we hear a lot about and don’t actually know how to do it.

We explore how high-achieving women unknowingly create burnout through people-pleasing patterns, why exhaustion is often your first signal that something is off, and how boundaries are less about saying “no” and more about how you lead yourself.

🔑 Key Takeaways
  • Boundaries are not about other people, they are for YOU
  • Exhaustion is a signal, not a badge of honor
  • Self-awareness is the foundation of every boundary
  • People-pleasing shows up everywhere
  • Boundaries are a practice, not perfection
