Episode notes

Sally Kohn: The hardest boundary for me to hold is against my energetic capacity around work, projects or invitations that I just know I don't have capacity for. She was invited by her Canadian publisher to do a keynote presentation as part of this book tour for boundaries. "I spent the next two weeks trying to talk myself into why it would be okay," she says. 'It took a conversation with my sister on a hike'

1. The top (surprising) signs that tell you it’s time to set a boundary.

2. Paying attention to “energy leakage” – when you’re giving out more than you’re getting back.

3. How to set the specific boundaries you need with in-laws, friends, and romantic partners.

4. Scripts for Melissa’s green, yellow, and red system of clear, kind communication in boundary setting.

5. Rethinking boundaries – not as not a response to someone else’s behavior – but as giving voice to your worth and health.
