Today’s Guest
I'm back with another co-hosted episode with the fabulous Jo Casey!
Today, we talk about business boundaries. This is such an important topic, and yet I don't see people talking about it often enough. This is kind of an extended episode, much longer than our usual 30 minutes. We decided that we had a lot to say, and there's a lot that needs to be considered when it comes to boundaries. Our last co-hosted episode was on resilience, and this one really complements that one: when your boundaries are clear and strong, then it makes it so much easier to be resilient in business.
