Boundaries aren't just about protecting your time. They are about teaching others what to expect from you.

In this episode of the Maternity Leave Roadmap series, I’m sharing what it really looks like to create boundaries that stick. I walk through how to set expectations with yourself, your team, and your clients, especially during maternity leave. From turning off notifications to creating decision-making guidelines, this episode will help you shift from reactive to intentional so you can rest, recover, and return with confidence.
