You set a boundary at work, and by dinner time you're doing your coworker's project anyway. In this episode, Courtney Cecil, founder of Working Moms Movement and former Fortune 50 culture leader, breaks down why rigid nine to five boundaries backfire and what to do instead when your job keeps rolling downhill into your home life.
In this episode, you'll learn:
Why "enough" is never defined for moms, and how that keeps you stuck in overwhelm
Why squishy, flexible boundaries protect you better than rigid ones, and what that actually looks like
The exact question to ask your boss before you say yes to a new project
How to tell when you're absorbing your team's work instead of managing it
Why naming your boundary out loud is the only way anyone will ever respect it
