Being great at what you do shouldn’t require being available24/7. In this episode of Restructured, Melissa Terito is joined by financial advisor (and longtime friend) Andy Bush for a real conversation about boundaries—especially for high-achievers, business owners, and people pleasers.

They unpack why “freedom” actually needs structure, howconstant availability gets confused with exceptional service, and what to do when guilt shows up the moment you try to rest. Andy shares the simple practice that’s helped him most: setting intentional reminders that re-center his mindset when overthinking kicks in. Plus, they talk autonomy, routines, device boundaries, and the tough truth that you can’t control what other people think.

If you’ve ever tied your worth to responsiveness, felttriggered by “not having time to think,” or struggled to mentally unplug, this one’s for you. Because boundaries aren’t the end of ambition—they’re how youbuild success on your own terms.

In this episode of Restructured, Melissa Terito sits down with her LinkedIn friend, Jaime Thompson, an accountant, longtime business owner, and fellow boundary builder. What starts as a social media connection turns into a real talk on the “boundaries journey” so many professionals face, especially in client serving industries.

Jaime shares how public accounting trained her in chaos, why endless deadlines and glorified burnout should not be a badge of honor, and the wake up call that forced her to rethink everything. Together, she and Melissa unpack how to set boundaries without losing trust, how to train clients through clear expectations, and why structure is not a wall. It is freedom. From CRMs as a first line of defense to scheduling after hours emails for the next workday, Jaime offers practical ways to protect your time and elevate your service.

They also explore the deeper stuff: stepping away from your business to see how it runs without you, rebuilding identity when your worth has been tied to output, and embracing community over competition in a profession that is changing fast. Plus, Jaime drops a line you will want on a mug: “You can’t lead when you can’t breathe.”

If you have been feeling stretched thin, stuck in the grind, or unsure how to say “no” while staying professional, this one is for you.
