In this powerful episode of Beyond Doubt: Unleashing Confidence, I, Nefe Oguntoye, dive deep into the importance of setting boundaries in both work and personal life. Drawing from real-life examples, including my own experience as the eldest child in a Nigerian family, we explore how a lack of boundaries can lead to burnout, frustration, and resentment—and how reclaiming your space can transform your wellbeing.
From navigating complex family dynamics to establishing work-life balance, this episode will equip you with the tools and confidence to start setting boundaries that protect your energy and honour your values. We also explore stories from public figures like Chappell Roan and Doja Cat, who’ve had to set boundaries in the face of fame, and how doing so allowed them to thrive both personally and professionally.
Key takeaways from this episode:
- Why boundaries are essential for maintaining mental health and wellbeing.
- How to start setting boundaries with family, friends, and work.
- Personal stories of boundary-setting, including my own, and practical steps you can take today.
Tune in to learn how to protect your time, energy, and emotional health by creating boundaries that empower you.
