Ignite Insights Webinar - Detangled: Boundaries, Self-Worth, and the High-Achieving Woman
7/14/2026
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM EST


Location: Virtual





Event Description

Setting boundaries sounds simple on paper. Putting them into action is another story. Boundaries aren't difficult because you're weak or lack the necessary skills — they're difficult because they challenge very real assumptions and expectations, and require us to dig into the relationship between our achievements and our self-worth. Every high-achieving woman needs this session, because saying you need to set boundaries and actually doing it means discovering what's really holding you back. That's exactly what we'll be addressing.

Drawing on the research of world-renowned expert Dr. Brené Brown, we'll engage in real talk and honest exploration of a concept that all too often gets tossed around as though all it takes is just saying no. Participants will leave with a greater understanding of the boundaries they need to set, a framework for doing so effectively, and methods for ongoing support — because the work of boundaries is never really done. Join us for a lively, truthful, and uniquely practical session on a topic we all need more help with.

Participants will walk away with:

  • A deeper understanding of the systemic and neurobiological underpinnings of what makes boundaries in action complex and challenging
  • An opportunity to identify personal patterns and systemic influences that quietly reinforce your own boundary struggles
  • Research-driven approaches to shifting from entanglement with and control by achievement, toward a healthier and more sustainable relationship with it
  • Practical language, frameworks, and strategies for setting boundaries more effectively in all areas of life and work
