Episode notes

The first step in the book for how to, you know, set and hold boundaries is identify the need for a boundary. But even before that, you have to build in moments, regular check ins with yourself throughout the course of your day to ask yourself, how do I feel and what do I need? And all too often, we don't do that. We again have been conditioned to wait for someone else to tell us how to show up or when to show up.

Melissa Urban, the CEO of Whole30 and author of The Book of Boundaries: Set the Limits That Will Set You Free, joins Joe to discuss the importance of setting boundaries in our professional lives so that we can avoid burnout, be present at home, and show up to work as the best version of ourselves. Melissa and Joe talk about how to approach boundary setting to include asking your boss not to call, email, or send texts messages after hours and how leaders can model this behavior within their organizations.
