185 Setting Business Boundaries as an HSP

Business Miracles

Setting healthy boundaries is an act of resilience for highly sensitives in business and leadership. When we’re living as untrained highly sensitives, and do not create supportive boundaries for ourselves, we end up operating from shadows such as over-responsibility, overprotection, and people pleasing. The HSP leadership opportunity here instead is to take personal responsibility to get clear about what you need, set boundaries based on your needs and values and then take action to create dividing lines that separate your physical space, feelings, needs, and responsibilities from others. All so that you can be of highest service to both yourself and those around you in your business and life.

In this podcast episode, I discuss how lack of boundaries leads to lack of focus leaving your energy drained and your business bank account suffering. Most importantly, I share how to get clear about your HSP needs and then specifically how to work with time to honor your needs, and effectively communicate your needs to others (a.k.a. set boundaries) all so that you can be your most creative and profitable self in your business.
