Ever felt guilty for needing space?
Even five minutes of uninterrupted focus?
You’re not alone.
Leaders don’t struggle with strategy.
They struggle with capacity leaks disguised as kindness.
That “quick question.”
That urgent call.
That open-door policy that’s become a revolving door.
As Dr. Anna Levy-Warren, Organizational Tutors, shares, in this clip from Today’s Balanced Leader, we don’t just need boundaries…
We need the emotional courage to hold them.
Because the truth is:
👉 Saying no isn’t the hard part.
👉 It’s the feelings underneath
— guilt, fear, obligation — that crack our Do Not Disturb bubble.
💡 Pro Tip: Instead of pushing harder, pause and name what you’re afraid will happen if you hold the boundary. That’s where your real leadership work begins.
