Ep 63 // Breaking Free from People-Pleas...

In this episode, we tackle a struggle that many working Christian moms face: people-pleasing. While the desire to serve and care for others is deeply rooted in our faith, it can easily turn into a need for approval, leading to burnout, resentment, and a loss of joy. We explore how to break free from the cycle of people-pleasing by understanding our true identity in Christ, setting healthy boundaries, and making decisions that honor God and align with our core values.

Key Topics Discussed:

• The difference between serving others and people-pleasing
• Understanding your true identity in Christ and finding your worth in Him
• Practical steps to overcome people-pleasing:
  1. Seeking God's approval first in all decisions
  2. Identifying your core values and priorities
  3. Practicing saying "no" with grace
• The importance of setting and guarding healthy boundaries to protect your time and energy
• How to stay grounded in your faith and resist the pressure to please everyone

Practical Takeaways:

• Learn to say "no" without guilt and with grace.
• Focus on living out God's calling for your life, rather than trying to meet everyone else's expectations.
• Protect your time and energy by setting clear, faith-aligned boundaries.

Listener Challenge: This week, I challenge you to identify one area in your life where you’ve been saying "yes" out of fear of disappointing others. Pray for the strength to say "no" and trust that God will guide you to make decisions that align with His will for your life.
