Episode 2138:

Shana Olmstead shares five practical ways to protect your own energy through a workday, starting with a twenty-minute morning routine and honest boundaries with your employer.

Quotes to ponder:

"The only one that can take care of you better than anyone else, is you!"

"A lack of boundaries comes from a self-worth deficit."

"Work is a part of you, it's not all of you."
