Learn how to set clear, kind boundaries in business—with clients, friends & everyone in between. Say yes to you first!
About this Event

Why is setting boundaries with clients, friends, and (really) everyone else so damn hard?

The great news: it doesn't have to be. Setting boundaries doesn’t have to feel cold, scary or selfish. And the truth is that a thoughtful, enforced boundary can make you more productive, happier, and more successful.

Join us for an authentic, supportive conversation about what it looks like to set better boundaries in business (and life). Whether it’s with clients, coworkers, collaborators, or even friends and family, we’ll explore how to create kinder, clearer limits that protect your energy and align with your values.

This session includes:✨ A guided introduction to boundary setting and why it's important🧡 A collaborative group dialogue where we share experiences, struggles, and strengths💬 Genuine community time to reflect and connect with one-another

Come as you are, and leave with new insights, a few boundary-setting scripts, and a little more space for yourself.


Setting Better Boundaries in Business - Clients, Friends, and Everyone Else is hosted by Kindred, a Seattle-based collective of community leaders and small business owners. Membership with Kindred is free, but not required to attend our events.
