Boundaries: Saying No Without Guilt

In this episode, we tackle one of the most challenging professional and personal skills: setting boundaries. Joined by attorneys Lydia Bueschel, Esq. and Rachel Milano, Esq., we explore how to set limits with clients, coworkers, and even family members—without drowning in guilt or worrying about fallout. We discuss the emotional load of always being “available,” how to say no with clarity and confidence, and what healthy boundaries look like in demanding careers.
