Welcome to the Thrive By Design Summer Series - quick, practical episodes to help you step into the holiday season with clarity, calm, and confidence. Whether you’re taking a full break or just slowing the pace, these episodes will help you set things up so your business keeps humming while you recharge.

So today, I want to talk about the boundaries that every service entrepreneur needs going into the summer. Not the rigid, rule-based kind - but the structural, intentional ones that make your break easier, calmer, and genuinely restorative.

Because you’re not building a business you need to escape from.

You’re building one that sustains you.
