The closer you get to maternity leave, the more valuable your time and energy become. And the only way to protect both is with boundaries.

In this episode of the Maternity Leave Roadmap series, I’m walking you through five boundaries that have helped me save my sanity during pregnancy, maternity leave, and early motherhood. These aren’t just “nice to have” tips. They’re clarity-setting, calendar-clearing filters that help you say yes to what matters and confidently let go of the rest. If you’ve been wondering how to prepare for time off without resenting your business or burning out, this episode is your sign to get clear now.
