Can't hold a boundary without getting frustrated? You're not alone. One of the biggest struggles I see with business owners is setting and holding boundaries with their team, their clients, and their time. And here's what most people miss: you can't hold a boundary effectively if you can't manage your own emotions.

In this week's episode of the Small Business Straight Talk Podcast, I'm bringing back one of my favorite conversations with Alex Resnick, Founder of Evolve Leadership. We dig into why emotional intelligence isn't soft skills fluff — it's actually the skill that allows you to communicate with confidence, lead your team, and hold boundaries without your emotions hijacking the message.

✔ Why You Can Be Successful On Paper But Still Feel Stuck And Frustrated

✔ The Real Reason People Don't Hear You When You Try To Hold A Boundary

✔ How To Be Firm And Confident Without Coming Across As Angry Or Emotional

✔ The Low-Stakes Practice That Prepares You For High-Stakes Conversations
