About this episode

Welcome to today’s ICYMI, where we kick off the week with a quick game-changing tip from one of our guests that you might have missed. This is our last episode of Season 3 before we break for the holidays. It's been such an incredible year filled with so much momentum and discovery, I can’t wait to share everything we have in store for January when we launch Season 4, so stay tuned. Thank you for coming along for the ride this year — learning how to adult with you all is a gift, and your support means the world to me. 

Today, we’re throwing it back to a game-changing moment from our episode with bestselling author and boundaries expert, Melissa Urban, on why we need to set boundaries, how to set them in a kind, yet clear way, and specific scripts to help you combat holiday drama.

Most of us need support with boundaries more than ever during the holiday season. No matter how triggering the holidays are for you, when we use boundaries correctly, we can create more closeness and protect both ourselves and our relationships with others. So tune in as we learn Melissa’s Green, Yellow and Red framework for setting boundaries, and how to proactively establish them early on in your relationships.

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.

 happy holidays, and I’ll see you on the other side for our best year yet. Love you guys.
