On This Episode of Cozy Chats I had such an engaging chat with Lyndsey Hanna where we dove into the importance of setting boundaries, especially for neurodivergent folks.

Lyndsey shared her whole journey in HR, talking about the challenges of speaking up for yourself at work and how crucial it is to know your own energy and environment.

We also dove into some really practical stuff like using contracts for setting boundaries, how the workplace culture is shifting with generational change, and just how important communication is for getting your needs met.
