If you’re a high-achieving leader who wants to set healthy boundaries at work, but you keep getting pulled back in out of fear you’ll drop the ball, this episode is for you.

In this episode, you’ll learn: Why discipline isn’t your problem—and what isThe deeper reason high performers break their own boundariesWhat healthy boundaries actually look like when you’re responsible for resultsHow to reset your nervous system with the Sunshine ExerciseA simple self-reflection question to guide your next boundary decisionThis isn’t about doing less.

    When Boundaries Are Too Flexible at Work: Shut Down Gossip Without Breaking Trust

I’m diving into what’s really behind this behavior (hint: it’s not just about control), and I’ll walk you through a real-life example of how one of my clients used a simple, 3-step strategy called the Connection Bridge to reset expectations and calm the chaos—without shaming anyone or triggering more drama. You’ll learn: What “open boundaries” look like in the workplaceWhy well-meaning employees sometimes take on too muchHow to set clear, kind boundaries that protect your team’s cultureWhat to say exactly when someone’s behavior is crossing the lineIf you’re tired of team members policing each other and just want everyone to do their job without the drama, this episode will show you how to lead with both strength and sensitivity. 🎧 Press play to learn how to shift your team dynamic and lead with clarity (and peace). ✨ Resources mentioned: Free Empowerment GuideDM me on Instagram @dranniecampanile if you'd like to be coached live on the show!Listen to episode 7 for more on Velcro TrustListen to episode 19 for more on The Connection BridgeWant to receive coaching live on the show?

    When Boundaries are Too Rigid at Work: How to Reopen Communication Without Overstepping

    Have you ever had a team member suddenly go silent... stop replying to your messages... or even quit without warning? In high-performing teams, breakdowns in communication can happen fast—and when they do, it’s tempting to either ignore it or push for answers. But what if the silence isn’t defiance... but a sign of Cactus Trust—a trauma-informed response that shuts others out to feel safe?

You’ll hear a real coaching story about a senior leader navigating a silent, withdrawn team member—and how a simple 3-step tool called the Connection Bridge helped re-open communication without overstepping. 💡 After Listening You'll Learn: Why some team members shut down in response to feedback or tensionA 3-step process to re-open communication gently and clearlyHow to lead with compassion and structure, even when a team member won’t talk 🛠️ Try This Week’s Practice: Use The Connection Bridge with a team member who's pulled away: Name what you’re seeing Offer one structural adjustment Ask one yes/no question to reopen the door 🔗 Links + Resources Mentioned: Listen to Episode 8 on Cactus TrustListen to Episode 17 When a Doctor built healthier boundaries✨ Next Week’s Topic: We’ll unpack loose boundaries—when team members overshare, say yes to everything, or blur the lines.
