Have you ever noticed how chasing comfort and pleasure never seems to satisfy? Maybe it’s the next vacation, the next event, or the “fun thing” you promised yourself. It feels good in the moment—but somehow, it dissipates.

Today, we’re talking about pursuing what scares you—stepping into the things that feel uncomfortable, the things that stretch you, because that is where true fulfillment and joy live. And friend, this is going to challenge the way you think about success, happiness, and your life’s purpose.

Ever feel like life is asking you to row after your own Moby Dick, and you’re just wondering if you made the right decision? Today, we’re talking about daring confidence—the courage to live boldly, without apology, and why chasing your ‘big whale’ is exactly where God wants you to be.

Ever feel like you’re carrying the weight of the world—everyone’s problems, everyone’s expectations, everyone’s emotions? Friend, you may be carrying things that don’t even belong to you. Today, we’re talking about boundaries—what’s inside your hula hoop, what’s outside of it, and how to discover your God-given values that will help you say no without apology.

Have you ever said yes to something—only to regret it ten minutes later? Maybe it was a volunteer role you didn’t have time for, or a dinner invite you were already too tired to enjoy. You smiled, nodded, agreed…and then walked away thinking: “Why did I just say yes to that?”

The truth is, most of us don’t struggle with saying no because we’re weak-willed. We struggle because we haven’t clarified our yes. And when you don’t know your yes, your schedule, your energy, and even your joy get filled with everyone else’s priorities instead of your own.

Today, we’re talking about how to know your yes—so your no isn’t about guilt or rejection, but about protecting what matters most.

Have you ever been in a conversation where your mind is literally everywhere but here? You’re nodding, maybe even giving the well timed “uh huh”, but inside you’re thinking: “Did I remember to feed the dog? Did I turn off the stove? And did I pay that bill?”

Then the other person pauses… and you realize you missed three sentences in a row. Or worse—you’ve completely missed the whole conversation.

Today, we’re talking about presence—how to actually stay in the moment, and show warmth in your conversations…without feeling the need to faking it. 

Boundaries with strangers are one thing. Boundaries with family, your spouse, or your closest friends? That’s a whole different ballgame.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about protecting your heart without guilt, fear, or drama—even when the people you love the most push back. I’ll share a real-life story about a young couple, their first Christmas in their new home, and the emotional whirlwind that came when they said ‘no’ to family tradition.

Stick around, because by the end of this episode, you’ll have practical tools to set boundaries in close relationships…without feeling like the villain in your own life story.

When They Don’t Like Your No Boundaries, Backlash, and Becoming Spirit-Led Instead of People-Led

 When was the last time someone didn’t like your no? Maybe they sighed. Maybe they guilt-tripped. Maybe they got angry. And suddenly, you started questioning yourself: “Did I do something wrong? Should I just give in?”

Here’s the truth: backlash is normal. Even Jesus’ boundaries disappointed people. But your worth isn’t measured by who claps for you — it’s measured by the Who choose you before you choose Him.

So today I want you to hold onto that last memory — the time your no wasn’t received well. Because in this episode, we’re going to rewrite what happens next.
