44: How Poor Boundaries Lead To Burnout


Listen Later

Feeling stretched too thin, taking on things that aren’t really yours to carry? Maybe you know your boundaries could be stronger, but you're not sure where to start? In this episode Tertia dives into how lacking boundaries can quietly push you toward burnout, especially for women who are constantly juggling responsibilities.

Tertia breaks down how weak or leaky boundaries can leave you feeling overwhelmed and stretched too thin and why setting boundaries from a place of deep self-trust (instead of guilt or overthinking) can bring a sense of balance and ease. She unpacks the struggles of holding strong boundaries in both work and personal life, the fear of upsetting people, and how we’ve been taught to put everyone else first.  This episode will offer you guidance on how to reconnect with your body's truth and stand strong in your boundaries, finally breaking out of the burnout cycle.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

  • Find out what boundaries really are (hint: they’re not just about keeping people out).
  • See how shaky boundaries can quietly drain your energy and lead to burnout.
  • Learn the difference between setting boundaries in your head vs. actually feeling them in your body and why that matters.
  • Discover why the usual “just say no” approach often backfires, leaving you exhausted and guilty.

Key Takeaways:

  • Boundaries are deeply ingrained in your body's truth.
  • When your boundaries are weak, work and personal life start blending, leaving you drained.
  • Embodied boundaries come from within and naturally shape how you show up.
  • The fear of upsetting people can push you to overdo things, leading to exhaustion.

Take Action:

  • Pay attention to how your body reacts in different situations as it’ll tell you where you need better boundaries.
