Show Notes

’Tis the season to set some hardcore boundaries, because they really are the key to living a less stressed, healthier, happier life. Upholding boundaries doesn’t mean you’re in your villain era… the truth about how to properly set and hold them may pleasantly surprise you, because they actually work to improve your relationships — not to restrict them. 

We got a game-changing rundown on how boundaries will change your life, with the incredible Melissa Urban, who literally wrote the book on boundaries, aptly called The Book of Boundaries. This is THE boundaries 101 crash course for anyone looking to overcome people-pleasing tendencies and improve their relationship with themselves, their family and friends, and in the workplace. 

Melissa Urban is a six-time New York Times bestselling author, the co-founder and CEO of the wildly popular Whole30 nutritional program, and host of the Do the Thing podcast. You may have seen her on her hugely popular social accounts or heard her on some of your favourite podcasts, from Glennon Doyle’s to The Skinny Confidential. Melissa has helped millions of people live their best lives through the work she does in the health and mental wellness spaces.

Join us as we chat about:

  • Melissa’s journey to helping people establish healthy boundaries
  • Signs that it’s time to set a boundary with someone
  • How to *actually* set a boundary
  • Why boundaries improve your relationships
  • Melissa’s green, yellow, red framework
  • How to stop breaking your own self-boundaries
  • Bracing for pushback from others
  • Setting boundaries at work to crush it without burning out
  • Ways to set boundaries this holiday season

We hope this episode motivates you to set some boundaries in your life, so you can take back your time, mental health, energy and relationships!
