The Uplift app is here! Try it free for 30 days.   Here is a truth most people avoid: Just because it's familiar doesn't mean it's faithful to your future. That friendship where you're the unpaid therapist? That group you got guilt-tripped into joining faster than you could say, "I guess I can help"? That job that drains your soul every Sunday night, just thinking about Monday morning? Yep. That.   You don't need a crisis to walk away. You don't need a round of applause to choose peace. But since I'm here, let me say it anyway: You have the power to put it down now. God never asked you to carry all that.   This episode is for the woman who's tired of spinning all the plates while smiling like everything's fine. You're not alone in this struggle. Whether you're raising teens with more opinions than clean laundry, building a business from scratch, or barely keeping it together while Instagram keeps showing you everyone else's picture-perfect life, I need you to hear me clearly: You are allowed to walk away.    You don't need permission, but if a little holy affirmation helps, here it is: You're not quitting; you're obeying. You're not letting people down; you're laying your burdens down.   Let this be the day you stop apologizing for no longer being available for chaos. The peace you crave isn't selfish—it's sacred. It's your right to prioritize your well-being.   Timestamps:   (01:31) -The Permission Problem (02:23) - 3 Types of Drains We Tolerate (06:24) -The Real Cost of Tolerating What's Quietly Draining You (07:31) - Why We Keep Holding On to What's Holding Us Back (08:17) - Your Step-by-Step Liberation Plan to Finally Let Go   WATCH ALLI  ON YOUTUBE   Links to great things we discussed:    Alli's Makeup Recommendation - What's Up Beauty - Watch Me!
