In this episode I share my journey to finding balance in my professional life by setting critical boundaries. I'll discuss the struggles I faced working excessive hours, the negative impacts on my personal life, and the steps I took to reclaim my time and improve my business. Learn how implementing calendar blocking, using a calendar app, and stopping the practice of always answering the phone transformed my business and personal well-being. I'll also dive into how these changes supported me through a challenging health diagnosis and allowed my practice to thrive in my absence. Tune in to discover how setting professional boundaries can lead to a more fulfilling and successful business life.
