In this episode, Paul and Matt tackle the concept of balance within the modern work-life environment. They discuss how managing energy across various life domains—work, family, friends, and personal interests—is more crucial than merely dividing time between work and personal life. They differentiate between traditional work-life balance and the current need for energy balance, addressing the intertwining of work and non-work activities in today's world. They highlight challenges like hyperresponsiveness and guilt, which complicate maintaining balance. The episode concludes with practical advice: conducting an internal audit of balance and seeking external perspectives from important relationships in one's life.00:00 Introduction to Balance00:57 Defining Work-Life Balance02:56 Challenges of Modern Work-Life Balance05:06 Managing Energy and Time06:52 Balance and Guilt08:42 Achieving the Right Balance09:41 Practical Tips for Better Balance11:10 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsHumanity Working is a podcast focused on helping individuals, teams and organizations be ready for the future of work by maximizing their human potential.For more information, and access to our weekly newsletter, visit us at humanityworking.net.

Tony Holly, Senior Director at Magnet's Strategic Advisory Team, joins the podcast to reveal the massive blind spot in most organisations' talent intelligence: contingent labour. Tony's team touches 600,000–800,000 contingent workers every single week across 600+ Fortune 500 clients. Despite this enormous scale, contingent workforce data remains largely invisible to strategic workforce planning—a gap that's costing organisations millions.What We CoverThe Contingent Workforce at Scale - Large organisations manage 2,000–4,000 contingent workers weekly through 100+ staffing agencies. One pharmaceutical client had billions in professional services spend with no way to connect costs to quality outcomes. Time-to-fill averages 15 days but hits 53 in markets like New York, yet most organisations lack visibility into these metrics.The Fatal Migration to SOW - Organisations systematically move contingent workers from staff augmentation (40% markup) to statement of work arrangements (70%+ markup) to circumvent headcount policies. Same worker, same work, same supplier—but a 30 percentage point premium. Tony calls this expensive policy avoidance masquerading as workforce strategy.Redeployment as Competitive Advantage - Leading organisations maintain talent pools including recently completed assignments, silver medallists from permanent recruitment, and retired workers seeking short engagements. Technology matches historical quality scores, pricing data, and skills to new requisitions—eliminating onboarding friction since workers already have systems access and cultural knowledge.Context Over Numbers - Tony's team contextualises data against benchmarks to identify red flags before they become crises. When five consecutive workers cite the same manager's attitude in exit feedback, that's not a data point—it's a leadership intervention waiting to happen.Total Talent Intelligence Remains Elusive - Despite years of rhetoric, permanent and contingent workforces remain siloed. Magnet's "stage five visionary clients" achieve true total talent intelligence—mapping all workers in one view to answer strategically: should we build, borrow, or bot this capability?Key Quote"We've seen organisations pay 70% more to get around artificial headcount policies. They're paying 30 percentage points more to circumvent rules that are hurting the organisation and costing more money. Why do that?"Practical Tips for TI LeadersConsolidate all contingent workforce data immediately—dirty and unclean—then identify gaps rather than waiting for perfect dataAudit whether workers are moving to SOW to avoid headcount limits—you may be paying a 30-point premiumBuild redeployment pools including completed assignments, silver medallists, and retired workersMap contingent workers geographically and analyse metrics by location before making return-to-office decisionsAlways provide context through benchmarks and identify red flags before they become crisesWhat Tony is Working OnExpanding total talent intelligence capabilities integrating FTE and contingent workforce dataDeveloping redeployment matching tools pairing skills, quality scores, and pricing historyAdvising clients on the "fatal migration to SOW" and quantifying cost impactsAbout Tony HollyTony Holly is Senior Director with Magnet's Strategic Advisory Team, leading 40+ business intelligence consultants globally. He supports 600 of Magnet's 700 clients—including 20% of the Fortune 500. With degrees in psychology, industrial-organisational psychology, and organisational development, Tony has spent over a decade building analytics capabilities in the contingent labour space.As ever—big thanks to our sponsors: https://lightcast.io

In this episode of Postpartum Unpacked, Trish gets into the often-overlooked topic of lochia - postpartum bleeding. Trish breaks down what lochia really means, why it happens, and how to navigate it with confidence. Drawing from her experience as a labor nurse, she explains the healing process after birth, shares practical tips for comfort, and emphasizes listening to your body. Whether you're a new mom or preparing for postpartum, this episode reassures you that lochia is a normal part of recovery and a sign of your body's incredible strength.Key Topics DiscussedUnderstanding Lochia: Lochia is your body's natural healing process after the placenta detaches, leaving a large wound (about the size of a dinner plate) in the uterus. It involves shedding blood, tissue, and leftover cells as the uterus shrinks back to its pre-pregnancy size. Trish describes lochia as the visible part of this internal cleanup.The Three Stages of Lochia:Lochia Rubra (Days 1-4, up to 7): Bright red, heavy bleeding similar to a period. Small clots are common, especially after standing or nursing (which releases oxytocin and helps the uterus contract).Lochia Serosa (Days 5-10, up to 2 weeks): Lighter flow turning pinkish-brown. Clots should be rare and very small, indicating the uterus is contracting effectively.Lochia Alba (Week 2 to 6+): Yellowish or whitish discharge with mucus. This signals the final stages of wound closure.Note: Everyone's body is different, so timelines may vary. If bleeding suddenly returns to bright red after lightening, it's a signal to rest - your body is saying you've overdone it.Practical Tips for Managing Lochia and Postpartum Comfort:Underwear and Pads: Embrace hospital mesh panties or disposable incontinence underwear in the early days. Use giant postpartum pads (ask for extras at the hospital).No Internal Products: Skip tampons or menstrual cups until cleared by your provider - your cervix is open, and infection risk is high.Peri Bottle: Fill with warm water to gently clean the area instead of wiping. Pat dry for comfort. Add witch hazel or aloe if approved.Sitz Bath: Use warm water (with Epsom salts or safe herbal mixes) in a portable basin on the toilet. Great for soothing stitches, swelling, hemorrhoids, or general freshness.Witch Hazel Pads (Tucks Pads): Refrigerate and line your pad with them for cooling relief from soreness, swelling, or hemorrhoids.Nutrition and Hydration: Stay hydrated and eat iron-rich foods to rebuild blood volume and support healing. When to Call Your Provider: While lochia varies, watch for red flags and seek help immediately if:You're soaking a pad in an hour or less.Passing clots larger than a golf ball (notify even if smaller ones occur after lying down).Bleeding has a foul smell (beyond normal).You feel dizzy, weak, or short of breath.Persistent bright red bleeding after resting, especially weeks in.Trust your instincts - better to report concerns and prevent issues like hemorrhage or infection.More from this episode:Postpartum Recovery Essentials Amazon ListHelpful Timestamps:00:00 Introduction to Postpartum Bleeding00:53 Understanding Lochia: The Healing Process01:44 Stages of Lochia: What to Expect04:16 Practical Tips for Managing Postpartum Bleeding09:11 When to Call Your...

Have you ever looked at your life from the outside and thought, “Everything looks fine… so why don't I feel fine?” In this episode, I'm talking about the quiet, almost invisible shutdown many ADHD women experience when we're technically “getting things done,” but we've disconnected from our bodies in order to do it. Not burnout. Not a crisis. Just this low-grade numbness that sneaks in when survival mode becomes our norm. I share how I noticed this pattern in myself, the subtle signs so many of us overlook, why high-functioning ADHD often comes at a physical and emotional cost, and the small, compassionate shifts I'm making to come back into my life instead of just managing it. If you've been productive but not present… if you're checking boxes but not feeling anything while you do it… this episode is going to land deeply. ✨ Mentioned in the episode:  Eleonore de Posson, https://www.eleonoredeposson.com/   —CHAPTERS— 00:00 Introduction: Feeling Alive vs. Going Through the Motions 01:00 Recognizing the Signs of Disconnection 02:05 Personal Experiences and Realizations 05:51 Understanding ADHD and Dissociation 07:24 The Importance of Mindfulness and Presence 11:53 Strategies for Reconnecting with Your Body 19:12 The Role of the Nervous System 27:41 Practical Tips for Staying Present 36:58 Conclusion: Embracing Mindfulness in Daily Life   ✨ If you found this episode helpful… Please follow, subscribe, and share it with another ADHD woman who needs support!

His new book, "The Willingness Factor," breaks down how saying yes to discomfort, opportunity, and growth can completely change the trajectory of your life.

We also dive into the science and psychology of flow state, that sweet spot where your skills and challenges align perfectly, allowing you to perform at your highest level. From dealing with imposter syndrome to finding peace in the process, Roberto's insights will challenge you to step fully into your own growth journey.

Watch the full video on YouTube here.Are you a law firm owner looking to understand the importance of connection? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Tyson interviews Sam, an entrepreneur and leader of Nashville's Entrepreneur Center. Sam shares his unconventional journey from studying history to hotel management, nonprofit work, and founding multiple businesses. He emphasizes the importance of hospitality, community, and authentic relationships in business, drawing lessons from both corporate and local experiences.  Sam talks about how important community and connection is to success. For him, success is directly related to the depth of the community. People just want a place to belong and it is crucial for businesses to thrive when they have other people or other businesses supporting them. Whether it's through networking or partnerships, building connections and maintaining a community of support will make or break success. Sam provides some advice to listeners about building better client relationships.

Today, Jesse is joined by Professor John Dinsmore—behavioral finance researcher, marketing scholar, and author of The Marketing of Debt: How They Get You—for a conversation about how persuasion, psychology, and modern advertising quietly shape our financial lives. Together, they explore how marketers exploit human biases like loss aversion, anchoring, and over-optimism to sell products, loans, and debt, and why AI-driven "adaptive ads" are making it harder than ever to recognize when we're being influenced. John shares real-world examples—from car dealerships to "buy now, pay later" offers and sports betting apps—revealing how even savvy consumers fall prey to tactics designed to exploit fear, emotion, and cognitive shortcuts. The discussion also dives into the growing vulnerability of retirees targeted by complex financial products, and why awareness, self-monitoring, and slowing down decisions are key defenses. Throughout, Jesse and John remind listeners that acknowledging our weaknesses is a strength—and that understanding how marketing works is one of the best ways to protect both our wallets and our wellbeing.  Key Takeaways:• Marketing works on everyone—even when we think we're immune. Most people admit that advertising influences others, but few realize how deeply it shapes their own decisions. • People tend to believe they'll have more time, money, or stability in the future, making it easy to justify debt today. • Loss aversion drives many financial mistakes. We fear losses more than we value gains, which leads us to buy unnecessary warranties, insurance, or "safety" products. • AI-powered marketing will get subtler. As systems learn to mimic human tone and emotion, it will become harder to tell when you're being influenced. • Social media blurs the line between content and advertising. Influencer partnerships and native ads make it harder to recognize when you're being sold to. • Being "weak" isn't failure—it's human. Admitting our psychological blind spots allows us to build systems and habits that protect us.

Have you ever felt that quiet pressure to do it right — eat right, work right, rest right, even “heal” right — and wondered why it feels so heavy? In this episode, I'm exploring the hidden cost of trying to get it right — especially for ADHD women who are already juggling so much. This layer of perfectionism isn't about chasing approval; it's about trying to prevent chaos, exhaustion, or the overwhelm that comes when things go wrong. I share stories from my own life — from childhood moments of not being believed to adult experiences that taught me to stay hyper-vigilant — and unpack how this pattern is really a nervous system strategy for safety, not flawlessness. You'll learn how to recognize when your “do it right” part is trying to protect you, how to reconnect with your Self (the calm, compassionate center that knows what to do), and how to build the skills and structure that help you feel safe enough to be imperfect. Because true freedom doesn't come from doing it all right — it comes from knowing you can handle it when you don't. Mentioned in the episode: Check out my journal-book experience The Self-Loved Woman Way: How to Stop Playing Small with ADHD”.  It is a tangible journal-book that comes in a keepsake box with sensory items I selected to help you do this work - the deeper work of healing.

In this insightful second episode with Lois Bushong, the hosts dive deep into the concept of belonging for Third Culture Kids (TCKs), adult TCKs, and globally mobile families. Lois Bushong shares her expertise as a licensed marriage and family therapist, unpacking generational differences and the pivotal role of shared cultural memory of family and community. Key Topics & InsightsShared Cultural Memory & Belonging:Lois Bushong discusses how family rituals and cultural touchstones - such as holiday traditions and celebratory meals - help anchor a sense of belonging despite geographic and cultural shifts. Artifacts and Home as Story:Doreen Cumberford and Megan reflect on how the physical items in their homes serve as tangible mirrors for their international journeys, helping in personal storytelling and connection.Finding Belonging Internally:The hosts reinforce the idea that true belonging starts within. Lois Bushong uses metaphors like “carry-on baggage” and a “sailboat navigating life" to illustrate how self-reflection, examining one's values, and adaptation play a role in creating a sense of belonging that transcends location.Navigating Cross-Generational Connections:Strategies for bridging generational approaches include reading books (specifically plugging Megan Norton-Newbanks's "Belonging Beyond Borders"), using metaphors in therapy, journaling, engaging in meaningful cultural activities, and seeking mentorship or peer support.Normalizing the TCK Experience:Lois Bushong validates the complex identity struggles of TCKs and encourages finding community (in-person or online), sharing stories, and normalizing feelings of not fully “fitting in” anywhere.Practical Tips & ResourcesReflect on Rituals:Maintain or adapt family traditions and cultural practices wherever you live—they foster continuity and safety.Use Artifacts:Surround yourself with objects and decorations that tell your story and spark conversations about your journey.Seek Community:Connect with other TCKs, join international groups, or engage in multicultural activities for shared understanding.Therapeutic Tools:Explore counseling, coaching, and journaling. Directories like the International Therapist Directory can help find culturally competent therapists.Recommended Books:“Belonging Beyond Borders” by Megan Norton-Newbanks“Belonging Everywhere and insights into Counseling the Global Blue Mobile” by Lois BushongSupport the showHome is Where Your Story Crosses Borders!We aim to inspire expat solutions, by helping you navigate global living with ease and grace.

In this episode, we reflect on what it means to cultivate peace–as a fruit that grows from communion with God. The cultivation of peace is not something we control. It comes from learning to rest in God's presence, even amid life's storms. We talk practically about how to tend the soil of our hearts, so that peace can take root and grow into a fruit that becomes a visible witness to others. We also discuss how Jesus, the Prince of Peace, invites us to make room for His presence, allowing His breath to bring healing where fear and sin have disrupted our peace.    Heather's One Thing - Triumph of the Heart is now streaming! Sister Miriam's One Thing - Healed by Love: Contemplation as a Path of Healing according to St. John of the Cross by Daniel Chowning, OCD Michelle's One Thing - Feast: A Men's Devotional for Advent by Paul George    Journal Questions: What places of my heart are filled with anxiety or despair? Where am I seeking to be fixed instead of seeking communion with the Lord? What sins am I justifying that are robbing me of peace? What lies am I trying to talk myself into? Who or what are you trying to fix in your life that you need to surrender to the Lord?   Discussion Questions: How are you trying to control your life and heart rather than cultivating? What things motivate you to operate out of fear or mistrust? How can you internally cultivate peace? How can you externally cultivate peace?   Quote to Ponder: Let nothing disturb you, Let nothing frighten you, All things are passing away: God never changes. Patience obtains all things Whoever has God lacks nothing; God alone suffices. (St. Teresa of Avila)   Scripture for Lectio: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:6-7)  Sponsor - BeeStill Design: BeeStill Design is a handcrafted Catholic jewelry and art brand founded by Louisiana artist and entrepreneur Holly Klock.

What if winning isn't a destination? What if it's the quiet act of becoming slightly better than you were when the sun rose this morning? Frank Dick spent five decades asking "How do we help people see their own progress?" As British Athletics' legendary Director of Coaching, he discovered something profound. We're wired to notice missing buttons but blind to the ones that are there. His Four Rs framework (Reason, Reality, Reflection, Response) is a mindset shift in how we define growth mindset psychology. Every competition, meeting, and conversation is an invitation to ask: What did I learn? But wisdom is more than whether you reflected—it's whether you committed to doing something differently tomorrow.​​ Three frameworks for transformation: The left-side/right-side exercise: How to rewire your nervous system for positive psychology and curiosity Strength-first philosophy: Why building on what works creates better mental models than fixing flaws (neuroscience meets self-development) Emotional control in the arena: Simple techniques athletes use to ignore distractions and maintain mental strength The only competition that matters is with yesterday's version of yourself—are you ready to win that game?

Episode Summary: Have you ever found yourself saying yes when you really wanted to say no? Or have you ever felt overwhelmed and exhausted because you were trying to meet everyone else’s expectations? If so, you are not alone. In recognition of National Stress Awareness Day, today, we’re going to explore how to move from overwhelmed to overjoyed by learning to say no without feeling guilty. We’ll dive into Scripture, explore research on overcommitment, and I’ll share five practical ways to set God-honoring boundaries. Quotables from the episode: Many of us, especially as women, have been taught that saying yes is the godly thing to do. We associate busyness with productivity, and productivity with worth. But the truth is, constantly saying yes can leave us drained, distracted, and distant from God’s best for us. For many years, I said “Yes” every time something was asked of me because I believed it was the godly response. Until God impressed upon my heart that he never told me to do that much, and had I sought him for wisdom, He would have readily guided my path! That was totally on me, but God was so gentle in getting my attention. Psychologists have long studied the effects of people-pleasing and overcommitment. Research from the American Psychological Association shows that chronic overcommitment leads to stress, anxiety, and even depression. Emotionally, people-pleasers often struggle with self-worth, believing their value is tied to what they do for others rather than who they are in Christ. Chronic Overcommitment and Overwhelm Chronic overcommitment and overwhelm can take a serious toll on physical health, leading to conditions such as: Adrenal Fatigue & Hormonal Imbalance – Constant stress can dysregulate cortisol levels, leading to exhaustion, brain fog, and difficulty managing emotions. Cardiovascular Issues – Chronic stress increases blood pressure, heart rate, and inflammation, raising the risk of heart disease, hypertension, and stroke. Weakened Immune System – Prolonged stress suppresses immune function, making the body more susceptible to infections and slower to heal. Gastrointestinal Problems – Overwhelm can contribute to acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), ulcers, and digestive issues. Chronic Pain & Inflammation – Stress triggers inflammation, which can exacerbate conditions like fibromyalgia, arthritis, and migraines. Sleep Disorders – Overcommitment often leads to insomnia, poor sleep quality, and chronic fatigue. Weight Gain or Loss – Stress-related eating patterns can lead to unhealthy weight fluctuations, metabolic dysfunction, and insulin resistance. Muscle Tension & Headaches – Persistent stress can cause tight muscles, tension headaches, and even TMJ (jaw pain from clenching). Burnout & Mental Fog – Long-term overwhelm can impair cognitive function, reducing focus, memory, and decision-making ability. Autoimmune Disorders – Chronic stress has been linked to the development or worsening of autoimmune diseases such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis. Managing stress through rest, boundaries, and self-care isn’t just about mental well-being; it’s essential for physical health. Jesus himself set boundaries. In Luke 5:16, we read, “But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.” He didn’t heal every person or meet every need. He sought the Father’s will first. If Jesus set boundaries, then we should, too. Addressing the spiritual and scientific aspects of restoration To counteract the physical effects of chronic overcommitment and overwhelm, we must address both the spiritual and scientific aspects of restoration. Here’s how: Prioritizing Rest & Sabbath (Biblical & Scientific) Biblical Insight: God modeled rest in Genesis 2:2-3, and Jesus regularly withdrew to quiet places (Mark 6:31). Sabbath isn’t just a suggestion; it’s a command for our well-being (Exodus 20:8-10). Science: Rest lowers cortisol, improves immune function, and enhances brain health. Sleep is crucial for memory consolidation and physical repair. Application: Schedule intentional rest. Guard your Sabbath. Ensure 7-9 hours of sleep. Setting Boundaries to Prevent Overcommitment Biblical Insight: Even Jesus set boundaries—He didn’t heal everyone at once and took time alone with the Father (Luke 5:16). Proverbs 4:23 reminds us to guard our hearts, which includes protecting our time and energy. Science: Chronic stress leads to burnout, weakened immunity, and heart disease. Learning to say “no” prevents emotional and physical depletion. Application: Use discernment in commitments. Before saying “yes,” ask: Does this align with God’s will? Is this sustainable? Engaging in Mind-Body Renewal Biblical Insight: Romans 12:2 encourages us to renew our minds. Philippians 4:8 tells us to focus on what is pure and lovely. Science: Practices like deep breathing, exercise, and gratitude shift the brain out of stress mode, improving mental clarity and resilience. Application: Try breath prayers (e.g., inhale “Be still,” exhale “and know that I am God”; inhale “I trust you, God,” exhale “in all things.”). Move daily to reduce inflammation and boost mood. Nourishing the Body & Mind Biblical Insight: Daniel chose healthy foods and was stronger than those indulging in excess (Daniel 1:12-15). Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Science: Whole foods reduce inflammation, regulate blood sugar, and protect against stress-related illnesses. Application: Eat nutrient-dense foods, stay hydrated, and avoid excess caffeine or sugar that heightens stress responses. Seeking Community & Support Biblical Insight: Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 teaches that two are better than one. We weren’t designed to carry burdens alone (Galatians 6:2). Science: Social connection lowers stress hormones, strengthens immunity, and increases resilience. Application: Surround yourself with godly counsel. Delegate. Accept help. Community is part of God’s design for our well-being. Releasing Control & Trusting God Biblical Insight: Jesus said, “Come to me, all who are weary… and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). Trusting God’s sovereignty brings peace (Isaiah 26:3). Science: Chronic stress stems from feeling out of control. Releasing worries to God reduces anxiety, lowers blood pressure, and improves mental health. Application: Regularly surrender your burdens to God. Journal prayers. Meditate on Scriptures about His faithfulness. By aligning our lives with God’s rhythms and applying scientific wisdom, we can reduce overwhelm and prevent burnout and experience lasting peace. Practical Tips for How to Set Healthy, God-Honoring Boundaries Recognize that “No” is a Complete Sentence You don’t need to over-explain or justify your decision. Jesus simply said “yes” or “no” (Matthew 5:37). When we recognize that saying no is a way to honor God’s best for us, we can do so with confidence. Pray Before You Commit Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. ”Before saying yes to anything, take a moment to pray and ask, Is this God’s best for me in this season? Set Priorities Based on God’s Calling Ephesians 2:10 tells us that we are created for good works that God prepared in advance for us. This means that we are not called to do everything—only what He has specifically prepared for us. Identify what God is calling you to do in this season and let that guide your commitments. Understand That Saying No Opens the Door for God’s Yes When we fill our schedules with obligations, we leave no room for the divine appointments God has for us. Saying no creates margin for God’s greater yes. Isaiah 30:21 says, “Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it.’” Practice Saying No with Grace and Love You can say no in a way that honors both God and the other person. Here are a few ways: “Thank you for thinking of me, but I can’t commit to that right now.” “I appreciate the opportunity, but I need to focus on what God has called me to in this season.” “I’d love to help another time, but my plate is full right now.” Encouraging Scripture to Empower You: Learning to say no without feeling guilty Galatians 1:10 – “Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.” Matthew 11:28-30 – Jesus calls us to rest in Him, not to take on every burden. Psalm 46:10 – “Be still, and know that I am God.” Sometimes, God’s best for us is rest. Ecclesiastes 3:1 – “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.” We must discern what is right for this season. Colossians 3:23 – “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.” Our commitments should be done with joy and purpose, not guilt. Scripture References: Luke 5:16 “But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.” Galatians 1:10 “Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.” Matthew 11:28-30 Jesus calls us to rest in Him, not to take on every burden. Psalm 46:10 “Be still, and know that I am God.” Sometimes, God’s best for us is rest. Ecclesiastes 3:1 “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.” We must discern what is right for this season. Colossians 3:23 “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.” Our commitments should be done with joy and purpose, not guilt. Saying no is not a rejection of others—it is a way of saying yes to what God has planned for you. You don’t have to live overwhelmed and exhausted. You can move from overcommitted to overjoyed by setting God-honoring boundaries. I encourage you this week to pray over your commitments. Ask God to show you where you need to say no so you can say yes to His best. If today’s episode resonated with you, share it with a friend who needs encouragement in this area.
