#4 Why boundary setting advice for Working Moms doesn’t work

You’ve read the boundary tips. You’ve tried the scripts. You know what you’re “supposed” to say.And then you’re in the moment… your boss asks, your child needs something, your calendar fills… and you say yes anyway.This episode is about why that keeps happening.Not because you lack discipline. Not because you need better language. But because most boundary advice assumes the decision is happening in your thinking mind.It happens somewhere faster than thought.I share one moment from my time at PayPal where I had the script and still said yes. Because “being ready” with the “how to” tips don’t automatically change response.We also explore what the nervous system is responding to in those moments, and why working moms often find themselves saying yes before they’ve even had time to decide.If you’ve ever felt like you know better but still can’t seem to act differently in the moment, this episode will make that pattern finally make sense.Topics Covered: working mom boundaries, why boundary tips don't work, nervous system boundaries, working mom guilt, saying no working mom, working mom mental health, boundary work, operating system beliefs, self-expression boundariesCOME SAY HI AND LEARN MORE ABOUT US:Instagram: http://instagram.com/andi.momtoringWebsite: http://momtoring.comEnjoyed this episode?
