Today, we’re throwing it back to a game-changing moment from our episode with bestselling author and boundaries expert, Melissa Urban, on how to set boundaries in a kind, yet clear way.
We often think boundaries are about telling other people what to do, putting up walls, and keeping people at a distance — which can feel pretty intimidating! But Melissa explains that boundaries are actually designed to improve your relationships with others by letting people know the actions that you will take to protect your own needs and feelings. So tune in as we learn Melissa’s Green, Yellow and Red framework for setting boundaries, why it’s important to proactively establish them early on in your relationships, and why we need to rid ourselves of the narrative that it’s “mean” or “selfish” to have boundaries in the first place.
Melissa is a six-time New York Times bestselling author, the co-founder and CEO of the wildly popular Whole30 nutritional program, and host of the Do the Thing podcast. Melissa has helped millions of people live their best lives through the work she does in the health and mental wellness spaces.
