Episode notes

If you don't leave Barbara's ass on the door when you got a three month old, what you think Barbara's going to do in four years, that's right. If at some point in your life, Barbara becomes more helpful around the house or more helpful with the kids or you just find that life isn't as hectic, feel free to relax that rule. You know, the best boundaries do need all the boundaries. Healthy boundaries should be flexible and not rigid.

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.
