Have you ever wondered if you have to respond to every message or if you’re even allowed to say no? In this episode, I break down exactly how I handle the flood of DMs in my inbox, from quick “hello” to awkward requests. I talk openly about what it means to have a choice, why intention matters more than a compliment, and how listening for God’s guidance shapes who gets my energy. I share DM stories you’d never expect, including the wildest one yet, and remind you why your response or lack of one can be the most important self-care move you make. If you’re tired of surface-level messages or want to know if your approach is really respectful, stick around for every word.

Topics Discussed:

• The unexpected “game” of deciding who gets a DM response
• How increased visibility affects inbox boundaries
• The difference between intention and lazy messaging (and how I spot them)
• Why centering yourself in a DM isn’t the same as being thoughtful
• How God’s timing influence whether I reply
• DM stories ranging from casual compliments to deeply inappropriate messages and how I handle each one
• Speaking truth to men and women about respect, boundaries, and faith
• Why being single doesn’t mean being alone, and why I don’t respond out of obligation

You are allowed to move in alignment with yourself, not as a mirror reflection of what’s sent to you. Your responses (or lack thereof) will speak louder than any DM. Start making your inbox reflect your values, not anybody else’s wishes.

This week's affirmation:

"I move in alignment and not as a mirror reflection of what is going on in front of me, but only the mirror of what God is telling me to do.”
