[37] I’m the Drama? No, I Just Have Boundaries

Melissa Janson Season 3 Episode 37

Have something to share? Text me—I’d love to hear from you!

Let’s talk about the elephant in the room: people calling you “dramatic” when you finally start setting boundaries. Sound familiar? In this episode, we’re diving into why standing up for yourself somehow makes you the problem—and why that’s absolute BS.

Here’s the truth: having boundaries doesn’t make you the drama—it makes you someone who knows her worth and refuses to settle for less. I’ll walk you through real-life moments where I had to put up boundaries (and deal with the fallout), plus tips for keeping your cool when people push back.

This isn’t about being a people-pleaser or letting guilt run the show—it’s about reclaiming your story, one boundary at a time.

Here’s what you’ll get from this episode:

  • The exact mindset shift you need to stop feeling guilty about boundaries
  • A step-by-step process for setting boundaries that actually stick
  • How to respond when people don’t like your boundaries (hint: that’s a them problem, not a you problem)

If you’ve ever hesitated to say “no” or worried that putting yourself first makes you the bad guy, this one’s here to flip the script and remind you: boundaries aren’t drama—they’re power.
