Interior Design Business - Healthy Boundaries Part 2 - 27 min
Do you find yourself constantly rushing out to job sites, responding to emails late at night, and taking calls on the weekends?
In today’s episode, host Terri Taylor is back with coach Marsha Sewdass for Part 2 of this episode all about healthy boundaries. It’s all very well to tell you to set more boundaries, but how do you implement them?
Sometimes you have to start small, so the small thing we’re starting with is a simple two-letter word: no.
In Part 1, Terri & Marsha talked about how to identify areas in your life that need boundaries and carve out enough self-reflection time to start thinking about how to set those boundaries. In this episode, they’re covering how to say “no” to things. This is a big deal because you were probably trained to be a people-pleaser (most of us are), but saying “no” is a really important skill to practice.
Topics covered in this episode include:
Learning to let “no” be your complete answer
How to practice and get comfortable saying “no”
Other ways to assert your boundaries clearly and professionally
