Episode notes

"I'm a people pleaser and I was, I just never knew what the word boundary was," she says. "It's my integrity doesn't allow this integrity meaning I need to be on this the same on the outside as I am on the inside" The first step in setting a boundary with in-laws is always that you are not standing up for your romantic partner against his or her parents - even if they don't like him or her. You have to set the boundary as a team.

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.
