When clients cross boundaries—texting late at night, expecting instant responses, or ignoring cancellation policies—it’s not always their fault. Often, it’s because we’ve unintentionally trained them to believe that behavior is okay.

In this Quick Tip episode, Lianne Kim shares how every interaction with a client is an opportunity to set expectations and uphold boundaries. From response times to communication styles, you’ll learn how to take ownership of the relationship and show clients how to treat you with respect.

In‌ ‌this‌ ‌episode,‌ ‌you’ll discover:‌

Why every interaction trains your clients on how to treat you
How responding outside your boundaries reinforces bad behavior
Why contracts alone aren’t enough—communication matters more
Practical ways to uphold boundaries with kindness and clarity
How firm but fair conversations create respect and sustainability
