Ever found yourself saying “yes” when you really needed to say “no”? In today’s episode, we’re getting real about why setting boundaries is so hard—and why it’s absolutely necessary for growth. From FOMO (fear of missing out) to people-pleasing, we’re unpacking the struggles that keep us from prioritizing what truly matters.

I share a firsthand lesson on how neglecting boundaries affected my podcast schedule (y’all see this episode dropping late, right?), and why protecting your time is an act of discipline, self-respect, and faith. Because let’s be real—if Jesus Himself took time away from the crowd, what makes us think we don’t need to do the same?

Tune in as we talk about:

✅ Why FOMO is not your friend (or from God)

✅ The connection between boundaries, momentum, and purpose

✅ How past trauma and people-pleasing can keep us stuck

✅ A simple mindset shift to help you say no with confidence

✅ Jesus as the example of why we need rest, prioritization, and boundaries

It's time to put action behind our priorities. Let’s get into it!

🔹 Key Takeaways

• Boundaries protect our priorities, but we can’t set them if we don’t first identify what truly matters.
• Fear (especially FOMO) tricks us into thinking we’re missing out when, in reality, we’re sacrificing our own growth.
• People-pleasing keeps us stuck in cycles that don’t serve us. You’re not responsible for how people feel about your boundaries.
• If Jesus took time away to rest and pray, so should we. Boundaries aren’t selfish—they’re biblical.

🔹 Scripture Highlights:

📖 2 Timothy 1:7 – “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”

📖 Mark 1:35 – Jesus withdrew to pray, showing us the importance of intentional solitude.

📖 Proverbs 4:23 – “Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.”

📖 Matthew 5:37 – “Let your yes be yes, and your no be no.” Boundaries = clarity.

✍🏽 Journal Prompt: What are three areas where I need to set (or reinforce) boundaries?

✍🏽 Prompt from Podcast: Mental Maintenance Mondays:

• Mindset Clarity: Take a moment to clear your mind and think about how your thoughts can shape your life. Imagine the person you want t one and align your thinking with that vision. It's ok to "pretend" to be that person that first—this helps you start becoming who you want to be. Over time, things will start to fall into place. And write a "Letter to self."

Ever feel like you're living your life based on what looks good online instead of what actually feels good to you? Social media and society have a way of shaping our decisions—what we wear, what we buy, even how we measure success. But at what cost? Have we lost the plot of our own lives trying to keep up with the highlight reels of others?

In this episode, we’re breaking down what it means to live authentically, outside of the algorithm and the expectations of the crowd.

Key Scriptures:

Romans 12:2 - "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind..."

Proverbs 4:23 - "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it."

Colossians 3:2 - "Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things."

Episode Highlights:

The pressure to perform vs. the freedom to just be Are we making decisions for ourselves, or for the internet? The impact of trends on personal identity and decision-making Social media’s role in distorting real-life priorities How to reclaim your voice and make choices that actually align with you

What if the thing you're avoiding is the very thing God designed you for? Not walking in your calling is like Simone Biles deciding to quit gymnastics—it just doesn’t make sense! In this episode, we’re talking about stepping into purpose, obedience, and the cost of hesitation when God has already equipped you.

🚨 Disclaimer: This episode was recorded back in 2024 before i was SAVED saved, so excuse any language or moments that don’t quite align with where I am now. God’s still refining me! 🙌🏾

Key Takeaways:

✅ Doing the thing God called you to is not optional—it’s an assignment. ✅ Delayed obedience is still disobedience. ✅ The gifts and talents you have are meant to glorify God, not be hidden. ✅ When you don’t show up, there are people who miss out on what God placed in you for them.

Scriptures to Reflect On:

📖 Romans 11:29 – “For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.” 📖 Matthew 5:14-16 – “You are the light of the world… Let your light shine before others.” 📖 James 4:17 – “So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.” 📖 Exodus 4:10-12 – Moses tried to disqualify himself, but God reminded him that He equips those He calls. 📖 1 Corinthians 9:16 – “For if I preach the gospel, that gives me no ground for boasting. For necessity is laid upon me. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!”

🚨 Hey, love stop despising small beginnings. I know this might sound a little contradictory since I’ve talked about defining your Super Bowl or Olympic moment—but hear me out. If you’re only focused on that big moment, you’ll miss all the small wins that actually build up to it. Think about running a marathon. You don’t just wake up one day and run 26.2 miles. It’s the months of training, the progress along the way, the moments where you realize you’re getting stronger—that’s what gets you to race day. When you commit to the process, you become a runner. The marathon itself? That’ll happen as a result of your consistency. So instead of obsessing over the end goal, focus on the training, the growth, and stacking those small wins. That’s what truly makes the big moment possible. Faithfulness in the little things is the key to more. Success isn’t just in the big wins—it’s in the discipline, the stewardship, and the trust you build along the way.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re moving two steps forward and ten steps back, this one's for you. The big moments will come, but in the meantime, how are you becoming her? Let’s talk about it.

🎧 TUNE IN & RESET: 💡 Why small beginnings are a setup, not a setback 🔥 The hidden cost of skipping the foundation & how to stay the course 🙌🏾 Scriptures to remind you that faithfulness in little leads to much ⏳ Practical steps to build sustainable success in 2025

In this episode of Don’t Hit Snooze: The Podcast, we’re talking about the art of creation—why so many of us get stuck in the cycle of watching, scrolling, and analyzing but never actually doing the work.

Plus, a major life update: new career moves, the highs and lows of mental health, stepping deeper into faith and entrepreneurship, and how I’m redefining the "soft life" as a single mom. This one is personal, transparent, and a much-needed wake-up call for all of us sitting on untapped potential.
