I used to never want to disappoint anyone, but I was the one that was losing. I had to start being ok with saying no to others, so that I could say yes to God, my family and myself. It is ok to care less about some things. You are not a bad person. You are not unkind. Choose for your values. Choose for God and your family. When they are your first choice, it is ok to say no to other things.

This is a habit we have to adopt over and over every single day, to choose faith when we begin to feel fear creep in.

Self care is more important now than ever. We start with God, then us, and how giving and serving is an important part of self care as well.

Today we talk about the struggles that can become so common in our relationships, and how we have to own, and do our own personal work to help our relationships.

In this episode, we chat about finding one thing each week to focus on, and be more intentional about.
