How to Set Boundaries: Learn Skills to Reduce Burnout & Stress With Boundaries | Ginny Priem | Happiness | E506

Author: Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby February 23, 2026 Duration: 53:51
If you’re the one everyone relies on, your boundaries might be the reason you’re burning out. This is for the high achiever who’s carrying too much, feeling stressed, and quietly running on empty. And yes—this includes how to set boundaries at work without guilt or conflict. Somewhere along the way, many capable people start to confuse their value with their availability. You become the reliable one. The strong one. The person who can handle it. And before you know it, you’re overextended and quietly exhausted from overfunctioning. If you’ve been wondering how to set boundaries without guilt, how to stop overfunctioning, or how people pleasing and boundaries get tangled together, this conversation will give you clarity and practical direction. I’m joined by Ginny Priem, keynote speaker, Master Certified Professional Life Coach, bestselling author, and host of the Unsubscribe Podcast. We talk about the signs of stress in the body, trusting your intuition, boundary pushback, and what to do when boundary busters resist your growth. You’ll learn how to set boundaries at work without conflict, how to communicate limits calmly, and why boundaries aren’t about controlling others, they’re about deciding what you’re willing to participate in. As you listen, consider: Where have you equated your worth with how much you can carry?
