Melissa Urban (she/her) is the Whole30 co-founder and CEO, and a #1 New York Times best-selling author. In this “Dear Melissa” episode, she’ll discuss whether staying on the Whole30 longer than 30 days is the way to achieve additional weight loss goals, how mentally “rehearsing for disasters” when you find things going well in your life can backfire so hard, and how to gracefully but firmly respond to people asking if you’re pregnant because you turned down a drink.
