Set Work Boundaries and Take Back Your Time and Energy

The employee’s guide to improving and maintaining work-life harmony with confidence.

You want to decline a request but don’t want to upset your colleague. So you say YES! Then, you bring work home and work until late to finish your tasks.

Setting boundaries can make you feel guilt because it can feel counterintuitive to everything you’ve been taught to believe. But, despite popular belief, you can still be perceived as a team player while setting boundaries at work.

Introducing “The Boundaries at Work Guide,” your go-to resource for setting boundaries and maintaining work-life harmony.

It’s time to set boundaries at work with confidence and improve your health and well-being.

Yes, I want to set work boundaries!

This is the perfect Guide if…

You want to begin setting boundaries.

Constantly saying YES to everything while feeling drained from so much work? Then, it’s time to begin setting boundaries to create more work-life harmony. You need healthy boundaries with your work.

You want to learn how to say no gracefully.

Struggling to say NO to events or more work? It can be challenging to maintain boundaries, but you can provide alternatives to a request and say no gracefully while still being perceived as a team player.

You want more time to do things you enjoy.

Sacrificing personal time for the sake of work demands? If you often work extra hours and are unable to attend a class or have time for things you enjoy, it may be time to begin putting yourself on your calendar.


If any of this resonates, it’s time for a change. The Boundaries at Work Guide was designed to help you overcome these obstacles and confidently begin to set boundaries at work.

Yes, I want the guide!

You’ve probably tried at least ONE of these things…

Staying Silent.

You thought staying silent and working harder would eventually get you noticed and appreciated (you thought your work would speak for itself). But instead, it led to more burnout and less recognition.

Taking On More.

You believed taking on more tasks would prove your dedication. Instead, it only increased your stress and workload.

Working Longer Hours..

You tried to make up for the demands by working longer hours, sacrificing your personal time, and still not feeling caught up with your workload.

Avoiding Confrontation.

You avoided saying no because you thought it was confrontational, leading to more tasks being piled on you.

Being Available 24/7.

You remained constantly available (sometimes during vacation), thinking it would demonstrate your commitment. Instead, it blurred the lines between work and personal time.

People-Pleasing..

You focused on pleasing others and saying yes to every request, but it left you feeling overworked, overwhelmed, resentful, and underappreciated.

Hello!

I’m Ana Goehner

Career Strategist

A career coach, HR professional, solo immigrant (Brazilian/American), and a first-generation college graduate with 15+ years of work experience in two countries.

For over a decade, I was a high performer (a quiet achiever, to be precise) in corporate America. I faced burnout and critical health issues (including a cancer diagnosis and treatment) until I learned to prioritize my well-being and set boundaries.

Saying YES to every request in hopes of getting a promotion rarely works. Instead, you’ll likely feel drained, overwhelmed, and burned out. I know because I’ve been there and felt that way many times!

Today, I help professionals like you learn how to set boundaries at work so they can have more time and energy for things that bring them joy!

I’ve been featured in Time Magazine, Fast Company, Huff Post, LinkedIn News, and more.

Are you ready to begin setting work boundaries to improve your work-life harmony?

YES, I AM READY!
