About the author
Yvonne Williams didn't start out
knowing how to set boundaries.
She spent more than thirty years working across countries, cultures, roles, and time zones in education and leadership. From early mornings in one region to late calls in another, she managed teams, navigated competing demands, and learned firsthand what it costs to be endlessly available.
She learned by losing her boundaries. Long stages of overreach, exhaustion dressed up as commitment, and the slow realisation that sustainable performance doesn't come from working harder. It comes from working with edges that hold. That shift changed how she worked, how she led, and eventually what she chose to write about.
Working alongside people in corporate, education, health, and nonprofit settings, she watched the same pressures surface across every role and sector. This book is what she noticed, and what helped.
Her approach is practical and direct. No wellness jargon. No productivity theatre. Just clear frameworks, plain language, and tools people can use the same day. When she isn't writing or running workshops, you'll find her resetting her own edges, walking her dog Waldo, and protecting the parts of life that good work is meant to serve.
