In this episode of Striving Butterfly, we explore the powerful difference between boundaries and protecting your capacity — and how learning to honour both can bring lasting clarity and direction in your life.

From training for the London Marathon, preparing for a trip to Africa, and planning the ORE Women’s Conference, I’ve learned that just having boundaries isn’t enough. You also need to be honest about what you actually have to give.

We cover:

• What boundaries and capacity really are
• How to manage both without guilt
• 5 practical steps to apply today
• Why slowing down isn’t weakness — it’s wisdom
• A scriptural foundation to help you stay rooted and clear

Scripture: Proverbs 4:23 – “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”

Challenge:

What’s one area in your life where you need to protect your capacity more intentionally?

In this episode, I’m talking about what it really looks like to rebuild inner safety — especially after experiencing disappointment, betrayal, or seasons where you stopped trusting yourself.

Whether you’ve questioned your decisions, felt overwhelmed by life changes, or lost faith in your ability to make the right moves, this conversation is for you.

I’ll be sharing personal reflections from this season of life, including:

• Returning to the podcast after a break
• Training for the London Marathon while emotionally stretched
• Balancing life, work, and self-doubt
• Feeling the weight of trying to hold it all together silently

We’ll explore:

• What inner safety is and why it matters
• How trust with yourself can be rebuilt — slowly, but surely
• The power of consistency, small actions, and grace
• Why shame and self-blame keep us stuck, and how to move beyond them

Scripture for encouragement:
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” – Psalm 46:1
