Boundaries, Worth, and Saying Yes to You

from Leading in Balance

Episode 2: The Boundary You Keep Breaking (And What It's Really Protecting)Episode SummaryYou've set the boundary. You meant it this time. And then someone called with a "quick question" and forty minutes later you're sitting in a parking lot wondering why you can't just say no.This episode is about the real reason your boundaries keep failing—and it's not because you lack willpower.I share my own breakdown moment (literally, in my car), unpack what behavior research actually says about why motivation alone won't save you, and walk through a practical framework for boundaries that stick. We'll talk about what boundaries are really protecting, why transitions make this harder, and how to design your way around the guilt instead of trying to white-knuckle through it.Asbatra Worksheet: The Boundary AuditResearch/Book References:Book: Fogg, BJ.
