About this episode

In this episode, Ashlee Waldbauer discusses navigating frustration in professional settings and the importance of protecting one's energy.

Hello and welcome back to Nevertheless, Shlee Persisted! W e're talking about one of the least glamorous but most universal human experiences: frustration. After last week's conversation about embracing trial and error, life decided to hand me a few opportunities to practice what I preached. In this episode, I'm sharing how I navigate frustration in professional settings without letting it take over my day. We're also diving into something I've been thinking about a lot lately: protecting your energy. Have you ever walked into a room feeling great and left carrying emotions that weren't even yours? Turns out there's a psychological concept for that. Together, we'll explore how to separate your emotions from everyone else's, conduct an energy audit when life feels heavy, and remember that one frustrating moment doesn't deserve ownership of your entire day. So grab your coffee, your crossword puzzle, or whatever is getting you through the week, and let's talk about frustration, boundaries, and protecting your peace.
