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.
