The holidays magnify everything — the beauty, the warmth… and the pressure.
If you're already feeling the emotional load of expectations, family dynamics, or financial strain, this episode will meet you right where you are.

Today we’re talking about boundaries — not the rigid kind, but the kind that protect your heart, your energy, and your wallet so you can walk through December with peace instead of pressure.

Inside this episode:

  • The hidden expectations that steal your joy

  • Why emotional boundaries must come before financial ones

  • Simple, kind-but-clear phrases you can use this week

  • What Proverbs 4:23 teaches us about guarding our hearts in real life

  • How boundaries help you show up with presence, not resentment

One question to reflect on:
What expectation is the Holy Spirit inviting you to release this week?

One Last Sip:
“The boundary you set today creates the peace you feel tomorrow.”
