Melissa Urban on How Boundaries Will Set You Free
<p>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. </p><p>And now, she’s written <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Book-Boundaries-Limits-That-Will/dp/B09WF3VQTZ/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=melissa+urban+boundaries&qid=1663780487&sprefix=melissa+urban+%2Caps%2C559&sr=8-1">The Book of Boundaries: Set the Limits That Will Set You Free</a> and, can we get a hell yes? We need this in our lives.</p><p>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.</p><p>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. </p><p>Melissa Urban’s site: <a href="https://www.melissau.com/">https://www.melissau.com/</a></p><p>Melissa’s IG: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/melissau/">https://www.instagram.com/melissau/</a></p><p>The Book of Boundaries: <a href="https://www.melissau.com/boundaries-book/">https://www.melissau.com/boundaries-book/</a></p><p> </p><p>Episode link: <a href="https://www.tmstpod.com/episodes/66-melissa-urban-on-how-boundaries-will-set-you-free">https://www.tmstpod.com/episodes/66-melissa-urban-on-how-boundaries-will-set-you-free </a></p><p>Spotify playlist for this episode: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5fhCRmsIQewGFB5b1Qz9fd">https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5fhCRmsIQewGFB5b1Qz9fd</a></p><p>Here’s the transcript: </p><p><a href="https://tell-me-something-true.simplecast.com/episodes/melissa-urban-on-how-boundaries-will-set-you-free/transcript">https://tell-me-something-true.simplecast.com/episodes/melissa-urban-on-how-boundaries-will-set-you-free/transcript</a></p><p> </p><p>Tell Me Something True is a 100% independent podcast.
