Episode notes

In the military, there's a boundary between I'm at work and I'm not at work. When you send texts that are emergencies to your team after hours, it cuts into our family time. So why don't you either send a Slack message to send the next day or sending an email to schedule the next day? That way we're not interrupting your workflow and you're not interrupted by our home time.

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.
