Setting boundaries is crucial for animal professionals. They are guidelines that we create to identify reasonable, safe, and permissible ways for other people to behave towards us.
In this episode, I chat with counselor Meghan Breedlove all about boundaries! Our discussion includes what boundaries are, how we define ours, how to overcome obstacles, asserting them in the workplace, and share some of my struggles with establishing boundaries in my career.
