#297: We hear a lot about boundaries these days, but what if the real issue isn't boundaries—it's access? In this episode, Josie dives into why so many of us feel overwhelmed, distracted, and emotionally drained, and how the problem may not be that we're doing too much. Instead, too many people, apps, obligations, and expectations have unrestricted access to our time, energy, and attention. You'll learn why your phone may be the biggest gatekeeper in your life, how to think about your attention like an investment, the boundary mistake most people make, and how to identify the relationships, habits, and commitments that are quietly costing you more than they're giving back.

You'll learn:

Why attention is your most valuable resource
How your phone is training people to have unlimited access to you
The difference between a boundary and a request
How resentment & routine can reveal where you need stronger boundaries
Why not everyone deserves emotional access to you
The hidden cost of giving your energy to the wrong things
