When someone asks you for help, what do you say? Typically the answer is yes! And many of us have an “if not me, then who?” mindset. But after years of saying yes and prioritizing the needs of others, Sasha found herself exhausted, overcommitted, and empty.  

In Brave Boundaries, she shares how she moved from surviving to thriving by stepping out of expectations, recreating her life according to her priorities and well-being. She began to set boundaries.  

Utilizing practical and powerful tools, concepts, and exercises, Sasha invites you into a new way of life. She shares personal and professional expertise on how we can overcome burnout and take back control of our time and lives by learning to set clear work-life boundaries.
