What do you actually enjoy when you're not working?
In this second episode of my boundaries series, I dive deeper into one of the biggest lessons I've learned over the past few years: creating boundaries isn't just about saying no — it's about creating space to reconnect with yourself.
I share my own journey through therapy, where I realized that so much of my identity had become tied to work, productivity, and helping other people. When I was asked what I genuinely did for fun, I didn't have an answer.
That question changed everything.
In this episode, I talk about:
- Why so many entrepreneurs lose themselves in their work
- How people-pleasing can disconnect you from your own needs
- Reconnecting with the hobbies and passions you loved as a child
- The relationship between boundaries, burnout, and identity
- Why rest and joy are essential parts of sustainable success
- How creating space for yourself can make you a better leader and business owner
If you've been feeling like your business has become your entire identity, this episode is an invitation to reconnect with the parts of yourself that exist beyond your work.
