This week on Hot Mess Help Desk, Lainie and Mya get real about one of the hardest self-care skills on campus: setting boundaries. From roommates who don’t get the hint to group projects gone rogue, they're diving into five mini role plays that show how to handle everyday boundary struggles with friends, family, and professors — without turning it into drama.

Through these realistic (and sometimes painfully relatable) scenes, you’ll learn what healthy communication actually sounds like, how to protect your peace without ghosting people, and why “no” is a full sentence.

Takeaway: Boundaries aren’t selfish. They’re self-respect in action.
