Today Erin picks up the conversation from Episode 124 and continues the discussion on the ways entitlement in business often arises, especially surrounding the seemingly innocuous question of whether to allow someone to pick your brain. If you’ve ever been asked for coffee (or have done the asking) with the question, “Can I pick your brain?” this episode is for you! This is part two of a three-part Strictly Biz series all about entitlement in business.

Part of managing your anxiety is managing your energy, and last week I discussed how establishing your own sacred, grounding practice is a smart antidote to festering anxiety. While a morning ritual doesn't magically make all of the world's problems disappear, it *does* give you the fortitude to navigate whatever lies ahead. We tend to be much less reactive and much more grounded and calm when we are making sure our own needs are being met, and when we are not sacrificing our own needs to keep other people comfortable.

This episode is part one of a three-part Strictly Biz series all about entitlement in business. You’ll want to listen to this one if you’ve ever struggled with setting boundaries in your business or finding more of the people you want to work with. I talk about how I realized I needed to up my boundary game, building resilience and how setting boundaries in my business has not only NOT hurt it, it’s actually enhanced it. Setting (& keeping) boundaries has allowed me to find more of the people who respect them, and that, in turn, allows me to keep showing up in a big way.
