In this week’s episode, Elizabeth sits down with the brilliant Lindsey Roberts, coach and founder of Gold Digger Coaching, to explore the powerful (and often uncomfortable) truth about boundaries.
After spending 12 years in corporate—and hitting burnout hard—Lindsey now helps women redefine success, prevent overwhelm, and create work-life balance without guilt.
This conversation is honest, grounded, and full of practical shifts you can start using today.
💬 What We Cover:
- Lindsay’s personal burnout story and the wake-up call that changed her life
- Why boundaries matter more than ever (and why most of us were never taught how to set them)
- What early signs of burnout look like, and why they often go ignored
- How to begin setting boundaries, even if your workplace is demanding or the economy feels uncertain
- The “micro-boundaries” that instantly create more time, energy and clarity
- How to talk to your manager about priority overload
- Why changing jobs won’t fix burnout unless you fix your patterns
- What true work-life balance looks like when it’s sustainable
- The transformations Lindsay has seen with clients who finally put boundaries in place
⭐ Key Takeaways:
Burnout builds slowly: 12–18 months of ignored warning signs usually come before the crash.
Small boundaries, big impact: Even a 15-minute break can reset your energy and focus.
Stress isn’t the enemy: Constant stress is.
Saying yes to everything: Means saying no to yourself.
Other people’s urgency isn’t yours: Their priorities aren’t automatically your priorities.
Your job isn’t your identity: You are replaceable — protecting your wellbeing matters.
Boundaries can be strategic: Align them with business priorities, not combative.
Changing jobs won’t fix habits: Boundaries need to be built wherever you are.
Rebuild joy at work: Start by recognising what drains you and what energises you.
