Client Boundaries, Business Systems, and the Hard Lesson I Just Learned

Ever said yes to a client arrangement that felt off — but you did it anyway?

This week, I’m sharing a raw and honest behind-the-scenes of a decision I made from scarcity… and the ripple effect it had on my energy, time, and business model.

In this solo episode, I walk you through:

✔️ The boundary I broke (and why I did it)

✔️ How project-based work can become a hidden trap for marketers and creatives

✔️ Why resentment is a red flag, not a failure

✔️ What happened on my NC vacation that made me realize my systems aren’t working

✔️ How I’m using Dripify* to grow my real estate marketing business and book dream podcast guests

Whether you’re a freelancer, marketing consultant, or creative director navigating your own business journey — this episode is a reminder that boundaries are not just personal… they’re strategic.
