In this episode of FREEda'S World, we discuss setting boundaries. Let's face it, boundaries have taken on a whole new meaning, especially at the workplace. We went from clocking out at 5 PM on the dot to now answering emails at 2 AM, and this is after working a whole 8-hour shift! Something has got to give. We need to reclaim our time and manage expectations when it comes to our time.
