Summary

This week we are so excited to welcome the absolutely brilliant Melissa Urban to I Don’t Get It. Melissa is the founder and CEO of Whole30 and a seven-time New York Times bestselling author. She joined Ashley, Lauren, and Naz to talk about her most recent book, the paradigm-shifting The Book of Boundaries: Set the Limits That Will Set You Free. They talk with Melissa about what makes boundary-setting feel so scary, and why it’s so important to get comfortable setting them. They also talk about how to reframe your thinking if you’re someone who feels anxious around the idea of other people setting boundaries that might affect you. Then, Melissa suggests some effective strategies for setting boundaries around specific areas of your life, including work, social media, friends, and even with your children.
