01. One full day off a week, non-negotiable
No emails, no Slack, no "just a quick check in." It took me a long time to actually stick to this but it changed everything. You cannot pour from an empty cup! 
02. No client WhatsApps after 5pm
I love my clients but the moment I let work bleed into my evenings, I stopped being able to switch off properly. Boundaries aren't about being difficult, they're about being sustainable. 
03. No client calls before 11am
My mornings are for me and my business. Deep work, planning, actually thinking. Protecting that time made me a better founder and honestly a better person to work with. 
These are lessons I learned the hard way that have made me a better founder, a better creative and a much saner human 💆🏼‍♀️ #femalefounder #foundertips #businessowner
