Choose a boundary that feels really luscious and feels really nourishing and feels really exciting. Don’t choose the boundary that feels like it’s punishment.

I’m back again with my friend and former business coach, Megan Flatt. Today is a lesson in Plan B. Normally we answer questions from listeners, but the system to take questions got hacked, so we’re going to dive into talking about boundaries this week and get back to your questions next time. Boundaries came up last week when we were talking about systems and support, and it’s a great topic to go deeper with.

Being a mom and being an entrepreneur are both 24/7 roles. You don’t clock in or out of either role, which makes it really easy to start feeling like you should be doing something as a mom or for your business ALL the time. That’s just not sustainable. That’s where parameters and boundaries come in.

Megan shares how she uses a guiding word to help set boundaries (right now she’s working with abundant ease). And we discuss how having boundaries provides structure—and more actually gives you more freedom.

We talk about:

• Creating a meal rhythm and how I actually ate more variety within this structure
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• Decision fatigue and how to cut down on decision making
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• The importance of setting work hours (even if they change week to week)
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• Creating work blocks and using them to shift tasks and restructuring our time to be more effective
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• Using boundaries to make conscious decisions and be in charge of your day (even when it’s messy)
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• Working with our own cycles instead of thinking things have to be the same all the time (or that our work days and weeks have to look like anybody else’s)
• 
  
•
