Your purpose was never meant to cost you your peace. Somewhere along the way, many working moms and visionary leaders were taught that if you are truly committed to your calling, you should constantly feel overwhelmed, stretched thin, and running on empty. But exhaustion is not evidence of purpose. And burnout is not a badge of honor.If pursuing your vision constantly leaves you:• anxious before the day even begins• emotionally exhausted no matter how much sleep you get• disconnected from your family, your faith, and even yourself• frustrated because you're producing but no longer feeling fulfilled• carrying pressure that never seems to liftSomething is out of alignment. In this episode, Latika shares the importance of knowing the difference between the necessary and unnecessary things in life. This episode is one you don't want to miss!

At a leading European security and policy conference in Prague, Latika buttonholes one of Australia's top political scientists to interrogate an unusually upbeat, even optimistic, mood.Is it that Europe's leaders are getting used to dealing with Donald Trump?  Or could it be Ukraine fending off the Russians, with increasing success?  The answer is worth a listen.

Overextended? Pressured? Stretched thin? Overwhelmed? Emotionally exhausted? Feeling guilty for saying no?Many working moms and visionaries experience the above when they do everything for everyone except for being in alignment with their Vision. In this episode, Latika Vines speaks directly to high-capacity working moms and visionaries who are tired of carrying everything while trying to stay faithful to the vision God placed inside of them. Latika shares how bold faith is not just about saying “yes” to God, but also saying “no” to what drains your peace, steals your focus, and pulls you away from alignment.Key Empowering Moments: Say No without the Justification Setting Healthy Boundaries at Work, Home, and LifeCommunicating Boundaries without GuiltWhether you're leading at work, building a vision, raising a family, or trying to do all three at once, this episode will empower you to lead from alignment instead of exhaustion.Empowering Resources: Empowering Resources: Vision Alignment Intensive Small Group Session⁠VISION Alignment & Activation Report⁠⁠⁠Vision & Strategy Alignment Call⁠⁠
