Are you the “always available” director? Answering late-night texts, covering shifts with no notice, and constantly putting everyone else’s needs before your own? Sis… it’s time to stop being the backup plan and start leading like the boss you are.
In this fire-filled episode of The Childcare Director’s Chair, we’re talking Boss Moves & Boundaries—because leadership without limits is a one-way ticket to burnout. Tune in as we break down:
✨ The sneaky signs you're too available—and how to take your power back
✨ Why saying “yes” all the time actually makes you a weaker leader
✨ How to teach your team to respect your time, energy, and role
✨ The 3 levels of boundaries every director MUST master: time, emotional energy, and responsibility
✨ A practical worksheet to help you define your non-negotiables like a boss
This episode is part pep talk, part professional development, and 100% real. If you’ve been waiting for permission to set boundaries—this is it.
🎧 Plus, we’ve created a downloadable worksheet so you can map out your boundary-building blueprint—grab it and start leading with clarity and confidence.
