Shanté Gorman, Mentor for Social Media Managers
About this episode

The age-old saying "the customer is always right" doesn't always hold true, especially when setting boundaries as a social media manager. Failing to establish and enforce these boundaries can lead to burnout and exhaustion.

In this episode, I’m showing you how to navigate the delicate art of boundary setting and I’m also revealing the precise phrases you must have at your fingertips to establish and maintain healthy boundaries in your role.

Whether dealing with late-night text messages or the constant request to add an extra post, this advice is a game-changer. I also share how to implement these phrases within your social media management business and how to confidently communicate these boundaries with your clients so you can protect your well-being. So, grab your trusty notebook and pen to ensure you get all these essential phrases!
