219: What to Expect When You Set Boundaries (Including the Elephant in the Room)

Do you find it difficult to set boundaries? For many lawyers, the idea of setting boundaries can feel uncomfortable, especially when the thought of saying no brings up feelings of guilt or fear of disappointing others. While most of us know we need clearer limits, enforcing them can often feel daunting. In this episode, I’ll break down what happens when you start setting boundaries in your legal practice and personal life, offering a realistic look at both the benefits and challenges.   Drawing inspiration from What to Expect When You’re Expecting, I’ll give you a clear, relatable forecast of what to expect when you begin creating boundaries in your legal practice and personal life. I break down the journey into three chapters: the good, the bad, and the ugly. Whether you're setting boundaries for the first time or refining existing ones, you’ll walk away with practical strategies and frameworks to help you move forward confidently.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://thejoyfulpractice.com/219
