The Boundary Boss Workbook: The Right Words and Strategies to Free Yourself from Burnout, Exhaustion, and Over-Giving

From boundary expert Terri Cole comes an empowering workbook featuring a wide variety of new practices, exercises, and encouragement.

Our culture is finally recognizing the importance of having and maintaining strong personal boundaries. But were you ever taught exactly how to set healthy boundaries? Fortunately, you don’t have to figure it out for yourself. Following on the runaway success of her book Boundary Boss, Terri Cole presents a practice-packed guide to help you establish the robust boundaries that are essential for an empowered and deeply satisfying life.

The Boundary Boss Workbook greatly expands on the transformational tools Cole introduced in her debut book. You’ll start with the essential truths about boundaries and how they operate, then dive straight into potent exercises—including assessments, scripts, mindfulness, embodiment, gratitude, celebration, and more. Here you’ll explore:

• The importance of boundaries and how they affect every part of your life
• Self-assessment quizzes to identify your preferences, desires, limits, and deal-breakers
• Your self-care tool kit—meditations, reflections, and empowering practices
• Getting proactive—how to anticipate and prepare for boundary-setting situations
• Boundary scripts—creating the right words in your own voice for asserting boundaries
• Internal boundary practices to shift your self-talk, habits, and unconscious behavior
• Establishing and upholding new rules for healthy, authentic, and lasting relationships

Boundary work takes intention and commitment—but the results are worth it. “Drawing healthy boundaries is one of the highest expressions of self-love,” says Cole. “When you do, every part of your life will blossom. You’ll become more empowered in all your relationships—especially the one you have with yourself.”
