Boundary-Setting at Work—August 6 @ 1pm EST

Live on Zoom—August 6th from 1-2:30pm EST

In a fast-paced, always-on work culture, it can feel risky—or even selfish—to say “no,” ask for what we need, or protect our time and energy. However, setting boundaries is one of the highest forms of self-care. It’s not about building walls—it’s about creating clarity, safety, and trust for ourselves and those we work with.

This session takes a trauma-informed approach to boundary-setting at work. We recognize that past experiences can shape how comfortable—or uncomfortable—it feels to speak up, and that not everyone has had workplaces where boundaries were respected or welcomed. Through this lens, we explore practical ways to identify, communicate, and hold healthy boundaries without guilt or fear. We discuss how to advocate for our own needs while fostering connection, respect, and psychological safety in our teams–and beyond! Whether navigating burnout, people-pleasing, or unclear expectations, this session offers tools to help reclaim our well-being—because we shouldn’t have to sacrifice ourselves to be a valued colleague or leader.

Participants will leave this session with:

• An understanding of why we may struggle to set boundaries—based in neuroscience!
• Hard truths about boundary-setting & boundary-setting basics
• Understanding the difference between microboundaries and regular boundaries—and why each is important
• A framework to establish priorities and when boundaries are needed
• Scripts & self-awareness strategies to support healthy boundaries
