Two businesses, two kids, a handful of friends I love and adore, and a husband who I can't seem to spend enough time with… even after 14 years together. I was attracted to self-employment to be FREE to enjoy these things, and to have control over my time, but without proper boundaries in place, work can easily edge its way in there and leave me burnt out and exhausted. In today's ep, I'm inviting...
