Feeling Underappreciated? Check Your Boundaries

The Feminine Edge

Have you ever had the feeling your time, skill and contributions are underappreciated? Or maybe you feel taken for granted. In either situation, It's not a great feeling. But the worst part is, it's frequently our fault. If we don't have and communicate what's ok and not ok for us, others are left to guess or figure it out. Having clear boundaries serve as a compass, helping align our actions and relationships with our intention, care and values. Boundaries help us make decisions and act as guideposts for the behaviours we will accept from others, what we will commit our time to and where to draw the line and say no. In this first two-part episode on boundaries, I share how boundaries are like fences, keeping out what we don't want and letting in what we desire. We'll examine the different ways boundaries can help us when working from home and in the various context of our life.
