how to set
boundaries
at work
(even in tech)
free workshop
wednesday August 26th @ 9:00a PT
Someone schedules over time you blocked. A teammate drops the ball. Slack starts power knocking from the other room at 9:17p.
Dealing with any of requires the energy to push back, clarify who owns what, hold someone accountable, or let someone be disappointed.
When you’re already exhausted, it feels easier to just handle it yourself.
And for the next ten minutes, it probably is.
But then one dropped ball eats your evening. One “just this once” becomes the new expectation. Your own priorities get pushed to tomorrow, and you end the day with even less energy to protect your time the next time.
That’s the actual problem:
You don’t have the energy to protect your time.
So you lose more time.
Which drains even more energy.
Until your whole life becomes a reaction to everyone else’s agenda, and you’re just trying to survive today only to start tomorrow even further behind.
You think the problem is that your job makes boundaries impossible
This is for you if you…
You handle all the dropped balls because it feels like less work than seeking accountability.
You make impossible workloads look possible, then get 'rewarded' with more work.
You worry that pushing back or saying no will make you vulnerable to the next RIF.
Your weekends are simply recovery time after surviving the week.
You’ve tried to set boundaries but they just don’t feel possible in your current situation
the solution is
rebuilding your capacity
Energy + time = capacity
Time without energy is a weekend spent recovering from the week.
Energy without time is a head full of ideas you never get to act on.
You need both.
Boundaries help you reclaim your time. Maintaining them and holding people accountable keeps everyone else from taking it right back.
That gives you room to recover your energy. And the more energy you have, the easier it becomes to protect your time.
Now the cycle starts working for you.
You have the capacity for the thoughtful, visible work you want to be known for. The stretch project. The side hustle. Dinner plans you actually keep. Hobbies you forgot you liked. Or an entire Saturday of doing absolutely nothing without feeling any type of way about it.
That’s the real promise of boundaries.
Not just an uninterrupted lunch, but enough time and energy to stop living according to everyone else’s agenda and start deciding what your career and life are actually for.
leave knowing how to:
Set boundaries that work in your real, messy life
Trust yourself to hold people accountable without caving or fixing their mistakes for them
Push back without overexplaining, apologizing, or giving in
Flex when you choose without letting it become a permanent expectation
Protect your time and your peace without feeling like you're risking your career or reputation
Join LIVE for practical tools you can use immediately, plus super valuable giveaways throughout the workshop.
I was very good at having no boundaries
For 20+ years, I was good at my job. I was good at my career. And I never wanted anyone to think I couldn’t handle what was asked of me or wasn’t willing to be a team player.
So I handled it. All of it.
Work became my life. Nights and weekends weren’t really mine. They were recovery time so I could get up and do it all again.
And for a long time, it worked.
I got all my validation cookies from being successful. Every big win, new title, and “we couldn’t do this without you” felt like proof that I was valuable, capable, and doing everything right.
Until I burned out so completely that I walked away from the career I had spent two decades building.
What I understand now is that I didn’t need another productivity system or a prettier way to say no. I needed to stop treating endless availability as proof of my competence and self-sacrifice as the price of my ambition.
Today, I help women keep the careers, salaries, benefits, visibility, and authority they worked damn hard to earn without handing their nights, weekends, and entire identities over to their jobs.
This is the workshop I wish I’d had when I was still making impossible workloads look possible and calling it success.
