When Saying Yes Steals Your Peace: Learning to Protect Your Priorities

Are you a Christian working mom constantly saying “yes”—even when your soul is begging you to say no?

In this heartfelt episode, we’re diving deep into the struggle of overcommitting and the quiet burnout that comes when we try to be everything to everyone. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by your schedule, pulled in too many directions, or unsure how to say “no” without guilt, this episode is for you.

You’ll learn how biblical wisdom—especially from Proverbs 4:23 and Mark 1:35–38—can help you protect your God-given priorities and find true peace in your everyday rhythm. We’ll talk about why boundaries aren’t selfish, but instead are an act of faithful stewardship. I’ll also share a practical journaling exercise to help you reflect, reset, and realign with what really matters most in this season.

✨ Whether you’re in the middle of summer chaos or just sensing it’s time to create healthier rhythms, this conversation will help you:
