E.9 Design + Build those BOUNDARIES!28 Aug 202400:09:12

In this week's episode I discuss how designing and building healthy BOUNDARIES in your career will change your life.  I touch upon how implementing these boundaries into my career allowed me to:

  • Dance in the kitchen alongside my husband with a smile from ear to ear (for the first time in years)
  • Gain RESPECT from my boss, my clients, my colleagues and
  • Create so much ENERGY that I signed up for a 12 mile Tough Mudder obstacle event...and was the first to on my team to finish.

All while being  a bomb a$$ "successful" architect...

  • To have so much freaking ENERGY that you have to literally refrain yourself from signing up for every Tough Mudder obstacle event in a 60 mile radius of your home and office.
