Summary

On this episode of Here’s Where It Gets Interesting, Sharon speaks with Whole30 CEO Melissa Urban. But Melissa isn’t here to talk only about food. Instead, the duo tackles the important topic of boundaries and our tendency to struggle with saying one very important word: no. Melissa’s green, yellow, and red light framework for boundaries provides an easy guide to both sharing our boundaries with others and easing our anxiety and dread during difficult conversations. This episode is a must-listen before the holiday season!

0:10.0	banter back and forth on Instagram, but I am delighted to be chatting today with my
0:14.6	friend Melissa Urban. If you have ever heard of the Whole 30 diet, Melissa came up with
