Manage episode 347826744 series 2650280
Have you ever found yourself saying yes to one commitment after the other only to end up being burnt out and resentful?
Maybe you said yes because you’re a helper and you want to serve others or maybe you didn’t want to hurt someone’s feelings.
For many women, people-pleasing is at the root of over-commitment.
But as today’s guest says, “Every time you say yes to something you shouldn’t, you are saying no to something important.”
So how can we learn to navigate the tension between following God’s call to serve others and creating time for rest and other priorities?
