Episode notes

An energy leakage happens when you are expanding more energy than you are getting back from those interactions. Social media is one of the biggest areas of energy leakage because it feels so effortless. It could be a wonderful time with wonderful friends who are all doing the right thing and supporting you. Nonetheless, you may have energy leakage that allows you to only do that once every three weeks whereas the rest of your friends can do it once a week. So being attentive to where your energy is going and engagements that feel like you are giving more than you're getting back is a huge sign for a boundary.

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.
