Tuesday, December 8th, 2020  12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. ET 

As a chronic high-achiever and people-pleaser, Julie got stuck in what she thought she should be doing. Trying to be the "best Mom", "best wife", "best employee", best co-worker, and the list goes on and on! Does this sound familiar?

It not only helps you, but it truly does help everyone around you. Setting and reinforcing boundaries is not easy and it takes constant practice – but starting the process will change your life.

  • Tips on how to protect your energy and how this relates to setting boundaries
