Sally Kohn: The pre-step before identifying that a boundary is needed is looking inwards and saying, what are my needs? If you have porous boundaries or no boundaries at all, your entire life is dictated by what other people need from you. She says she gave up caffeine more than 10 years ago but went back to it just as badly this time around. "If I don't drink caffeine, I will be free to find other ways to boost my energy and productivity"

This week I was excited to speak with Melissa Urban about her new book, The Book of Boundaries: Set the Limits That Will Set You Free. Melissa and I had an extremely insightful conversation about how setting healthy boundaries with family members, co-workers, friends and even yourself can transform your relationships, eliminate stress and improve your daily outlook.

In this chat, Melissa breaks down the vital steps towards identifying if a boundary needs to be set and the three unique levels of instituting a boundary with both honesty and kindness. Oftentimes we can think of boundaries as barriers towards achieving authentic relationships. Melissa is here to reveal why the exact opposite is the case and how when implemented properly boundaries can help save relationships and strengthen bonds.
