367: How to set healthy boundaries - with Nancy Levin (ALL-STAR)
December 10, 2024

We are continuing our all-star season, bringing back some of my favorite conversations from the vaults of The Simplifiers Podcast and sharing them once again.  I think that this one (which originally aired in June 2020) with author Nancy Levin fits so well inside the theme of “self-discipline” that we are exploring this month.

So, how do you set healthy boundaries in life, especially if you feel like yours get trampled on over and over again? In my mind, boundaries are in fact, one of the very best ways to cultivate self-discipline, helping you keep your eye on the prize of what you want most in life.

Therefore, it’s a delight to feature this all-episode once again. Through her books, Nancy helps overachieving people-pleasers learn to live life on their own terms. Here’s how.

My all-star special guest today is Nancy Levin and she’s simplifying how to set healthy boundaries.

We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including:

All this month, we are focused on the theme of “Self-Discipline,” helping you stay on track in your work and in your life… and get back to thriving. You have the power to create the life you really want to live, if only you simply remembered what’s possible… and make Bold Asks for what you need, want, and desire. Today is a fresh start and a new beginning.

Your 1000 daily choices will help you get there.

We will explore what that means on every level this month, both personally and professionally.

As always, ping me over on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/thesimplifiers) - and tell me your thoughts:

Share this episode with one person and discuss it together.  The accountability found in just one trusted friend or colleague is immeasurable in helping you make forward progress.

You can do it, I believe in you… it’s time to simplify!

Q: Are you trying to figure out how to set healthy boundaries in your life? If yes, this one is for you.

It’s time to #DoTheThing
