New Here

So, you’re in a new job. Do you know how to set healthy boundaries?

This week on New Here, we learn why it’s important to set your boundaries at work from day one – and how to do it.

Host Elainy Mata talks with her own therapist about how boundaries come into play at work, how to define them for yourself, and how to handle the discomfort you feel when a colleague crosses your boundaries.

Then Elainy and her work friends Dustin Brady, Jhymon Moodie, and Cheyenne Paterson discuss her therapist’s advice and share what they’ve learned about how it feels when boundaries get crossed at work.
