The HR Department of Your Life: Oversee Your Boundaries with CEO Energy

In this episode of Hold My Purse, we’re stepping into the part of your life most people never think about but desperately need — your inner HR department. As the CEO of your life, it’s your job to oversee the standards, boundaries, and energetic access that keep your world functioning with clarity and peace.

We talk about the moments where you’re doing too much, giving too much, or carrying responsibilities that don’t belong to you — the emotional version of role creep. You’ll learn how to evaluate the “team members” in your life the way a strong CEO evaluates an organization: Who deserves a promotion? Who needs coaching? And what needs to be released with love to protect your peace?

You’ll also learn how to listen to those quiet internal alerts — the ones that tell you something feels off — and treat them like HR investigations that bring you back into alignment. This episode will challenge the way you think about access, energy, and relationships, and help you reclaim the power you’ve been giving away.

If you’re ready to set boundaries with confidence, lead your life with intention, and step fully into your CEO energy, this episode is your next move.
