Learning to Protect Your Most Valuable Resources
This week we're discussing Learning to Protect Your Most Valuable Resources
As solo parents, it can feel like our time, energy, money, and even our words are always up for grabs. We pour out for our kids, our work, our communities, and even good things like church or helping friends, until we suddenly realize we are running on empty. In this episode, we talk honestly about the pain of feeling constantly depleted, the resentment that can grow when we overgive, the guilt that surfaces when we try to say no, and the anxiety that comes from feeling like our money and schedule are always out of control. These things matter because if we do not treat our lives as sacred, no one else will, and our kids will learn from whatever example we set.
Today, we cover three main points:
- Why holding things sacred matters
- How boundaries help protect what really matters
- Practical ways to hold things sacred in everyday life
If you are exhausted from giving and feel like there is nothing left for you, you are not broken or failing. You may simply be pouring from a cup that has not been refilled in a very long time. Learning to hold your time, energy, and money as sacred is not selfish. It is a way of honoring the fact that your life and your story matter. When you protect what is valuable in you, you are better able to show up with patience, clarity, and tenderness for the people you love most. You have permission to pause, to say no, and to build new patterns that match the kind of life you know you are worth living.
