This is Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby and you're listening to the Love, Happiness, and Success Podcast.

If you've been feeling over your job, burned out, stressed, overwhelmed, or like you just can't get ahead,

consider that it may be less about the job itself and more about your internal ability to set

and maintain healthy boundaries at work. Learning how to know and communicate your limits in

effective ways can restore your enjoyment of your career. And that's what you'll be learning how to do on

today's show. Today's mood music comes from the band Palace with the song Bitter. And I chose

the selection for us today because without the ability to set and maintain healthy

boundaries particularly at work, it is inevitable that you will begin to feel bitter,

resentful, stressed, overwhelmed, or like your job is even feeling intolerable to you. And, you know, many times

people can believe that the only solution to this problem is to quit their job. They assume that

the problem is with the environment they're in, or perhaps the career path itself.

And you know that by making a pivot or finding a different environment, they will have a different

experience. And while it is true that certain environments are healthier than others,

and sometimes we absolutely do go down one career path only to

discover that it isn't really a great fit for us. And it's time to do something different,

completely valid. It is also very worthwhile to not assume that it's just that we're in the

wrong environment all the time.

We also have lots of opportunity for growth and empowerment when we consider

what we are doing that can also be contributing to the experience that we're having.

And so the purpose of today's show is to explore one of the

biggest growth opportunities for many of us when it comes to our job, which is learning how

to figure out what our boundaries are, you know, what they should be when it comes to all kinds of different aspects
