Saying No this Maycember: How to Protect Your Peace Without Guilt - Episode 45

Maycember is in full swing. School parties, recitals, graduations, and a calendar that's super full. And somewhere in the middle of it all… you finally made your peace a priority and set boundaries by saying no. You protected your peace.
But now? You’re feeling guilty about it.
In this episode, I’m talking to the momma who’s second-guessing her 'no' during this busy May season. I unpack where that guilt comes from, how to silence it with God's truth, and why your boundaries matter...especially right now.
Just because May feels out of control doesn’t mean you have to be. Let’s talk about finding calm in the craziness and giving yourself the same kindness you offer everyone else.
You deserve peace, even in Maycember.

Maycember Madness: How to Set Boundaries and Prioritize Yourself - Episode 44

May is one of the busiest months for moms: graduations, recitals, teacher gifts, end-of-school activities... it can feel like a lot.
In this episode, I’m sharing a reminder that your peace matters, too. Inspired by something I heard on another mom podcast, I felt led to talk about what it looks like to set healthy, God-honoring boundaries when life gets busy.
If you’re a Christian mom feeling overwhelmed by the calendar, this episode will help you:
-Release the guilt around saying no.
-Make space for rest in a packed season.
-Stay aligned with God’s peace, not the pressure.
You don’t have to do it all. You’re allowed to create room for yourself. Let’s talk about how to do that with love, intention, and faith.
