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 Urban is one of the few people we’ve asked back to the show and there’s a reason for that. She’s got such a unique, magnetic energy and this strong, no-nonsense, yet compassionate way of showing up in the world. 

And now, she’s written The Book of Boundaries: Set the Limits That Will Set You Free and, can we get a hell yes? We need this in our lives.

Melissa walks us through why boundaries are one of the most important life skills one can have, common pitfalls, why she wrote a specific section for mother-in-laws, and so much more. Friends, we are not overstating it when we say it’s hands-down the best book on boundaries EVER.

Also, we have an announcement: we’ve decided to bring TMST to a close, and this episode will be our second to last. Laura will have a lot to say about what went into this decision next week, in her final solo episode.

Chances are you have either given the Whole30 protocol a go yourself, or know someone that has. This week, Elizabeth welcomes the powerhouse behind the movement, Co-Founder Melissa Urban. Melissa shares how Whole30 went from being something she wrote in a blog and shared with a small CrossFit community to a recognizable household name helping millions and partnering with huge brands like Chipotle and Walmart. Melissa talks about the science behind Whole30, and how her mission to help people with their health and habits really starts with food freedom. Melissa shares how she stays committed to high quality and clean ingredients in who she works with and the products Whole30 directly comes out with, the small self care things we can easily work into our day, and why you should always use the good fork.

Doing a Whole30 is about so much more than food...it's about creating boundaries and finding food freedom. 

But most of the time, we turn to food to help us overcome or hide uncomfortable feelings. So many of us use food as a coping mechanism that food-related illnesses hit at an all time high. Recognizing this weakness, Melissa Urban created a Whole30 program that is designed to give its participants freedom from the bad habits and poor choices our diets have created, “I was looking for something and I was never going to find it in these foods”. 

The program is about much more than food! “It’s uncomfortable to deal with feelings.  Realizing that that discomfort is not going to kill you is really profoundly impactful”. Hear Melissa share in depth about the program, what it can teach you about yourself, and how you can learn to accept your feelings in today’s episode!
