#175: Boundaries are a Form of Self-Care with Kristi Boyette

Adva

If you've been here for a while, you'll know that I'm a HUGE fan of setting boundaries, no matter how others perceive them. Kristi is a teacher mentor who walks teachers through the process to set boundaries without any guilt. In this episode, she helps us to understand that boundaries are really just a way to show others what you need and how you want to be treated. 

3 KEY TAKEAWAYS:

  • When you set a boundary, it's important to give the other person the time and grace to internalize that boundary. 
  • When someone reacts badly to a boundary, it's more about them than it is about you.
  • Teachers struggle to set boundaries because we are taught to believe that we "should be" available and put their students first
