You can’t build a remote culture without this boundary

Hey remoter — Samantha here 👋

One of the best things about remote work?
It gives us more freedom. More flexibility. More control over our time.

But here’s the catch…
That freedom only works if your team feels safe using it.

And that safety? It starts at the top.

When leaders model healthy boundaries, the team follows.
When leaders stay “always on,” the team does too.

If you’re replying to messages late at night…
If you’re skipping breaks and never taking time off…
If you're always available—your team will feel like they have to be too.

It’s not a people problem.
It’s a culture problem and as a leader, you set the tone.

So let’s fix that.

In 5 mins or less, you’ll learn👇

> The subtle ways leaders encourage (or kill) boundaries
> A simple framework to protect focus time & prevent burnout
> Small shifts that make a huge difference for your team

Plus, the exact message you can send to normalise boundaries today.

• Performance reviews suck. Let’s fix that.

• Hiring more people won’t fix the problem

• Messy processes are costing you more than you think

Boundaries aren’t personal. They’re cultural 👩🏻‍💻

Most remote teams don’t struggle with boundaries because they’re bad at setting them. They struggle because the culture makes it hard to uphold them.

Think about it:

🚨 If someone in the leadership sends messages outside work hours, employees will likely feel the pressure to respond
🚨 If “deep work” time is constantly interrupted, no one gets focused work done
🚨 If taking a break feels like slacking off, burnout is inevitable

It’s not just about telling your team they don’t have to reply immediately.
It’s about creating an environment where they actually believe that’s true.
