Episode 18: Your Boundaries Aren’t Mine to Manage

Episode 18: Your Boundaries Aren’t Mine to Manage16 Sept34 min

<p>We’re pretty good at talking about how to <em>set</em> boundaries—but are we just as good at respecting other people’s boundaries without trying to manage them?</p><p>This week, Maddie and Meaghan revisit one of their favorite workplace topics from a different angle: what happens when caring about a coworker turns into assuming what they can handle, protecting them from stress they never asked us to protect them from, or even making decisions on their behalf?</p><p>From burnout and workload to lunch breaks, leaving work on time, passive-aggressive reactions, manager-employee relationships, and the baggage we carry from previous workplaces, we’re unpacking the messy reality of boundaries at work.</p><p>Because sometimes respecting someone means trusting them to tell you what they need—even when their boundary isn’t the one you would choose.</p><p>Grab your coffee and join us as we talk about managing our response to other people’s boundaries instead of trying to manage the boundaries themselves.</p><p>Coffee and work, but make it queer. ☕🌈</p>
