Forget Boundaries, Construct Fences
Boundaries, boundaries, and more boundaries. It is one of the most important gifts you can give yourself, especially as a woman over 40 when our entire lives could easily be spent in reaction to the needs of everything and everyone else.
So why didn’t we call this episode boundaries? Because if we want to take back control of our lives, boundaries aren’t enough. We need to learn how to construct fences around everything. Fences are unmoving. Yet we get to consciously decide the kind of fence we want to use as a border and where to put a gate to move through. Plus, fences give us parameters around possibilities so we aren’t overwhelmed.
Join our conversation this week around where and how you should be constructing fences to advance your success, lower your stress and feel better in every aspect of life.
