1️⃣ The Gifts of Imperfection – Brené Brown

• Key Insight: “Authenticity is a daily practice of letting go of who we think we’re supposed to be and embracing who we truly are.”
• Ties to Episode: Understanding guilt as a learned response and embracing who you truly are without people-pleasing.

2️⃣ Set Boundaries, Find Peace – Nedra Glover Tawwab

• Key Insight: “When we fail to set boundaries and hold people accountable, we feel used and mistreated. But this is our own fault because we did not set limits.”
• Ties to Episode: The necessity of communicating boundaries and recognizing that unspoken expectations lead to resentment.

3️⃣ The Best Yes – Lysa TerKeurst

• Key Insight: “Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should. The key is making sure your yes is actually your best yes.”
• Ties to Episode: How saying yes to everything leads to exhaustion and why intentional no’s create space for what truly matters.

"You’ve heard it everywhere—just find work-life balance, and everything will fall into place. If you can just juggle it all perfectly, you’ll finally feel in control. But let me ask you… how’s that working for you?"

"If you’re anything like most of the women I coach, you’ve tried everything. Color-coded calendars, strict schedules, productivity hacks, waking up earlier—only to still feel exhausted at the end of the day. And the worst part? You feel guilty. Like you’re somehow failing because you can’t ‘figure it out.’"

🔥 TRUTH BOMB: "The reason this cycle keeps happening isn’t because you’re failing. It’s because work-life balance is a LIE. It’s a moving target that keeps you chasing something you’ll never actually catch."

"Have you ever found yourself so caught up in the busyness of life that you forget to truly check in with the people who matter most? Maybe weeks or even months have passed, and you suddenly realize you haven’t had a real conversation with your best friend, your parent, or even your partner. It’s easy to tell yourself, ‘I’ll reach out later.’ But what happens if later never comes?"

"This thought hit me hard recently. Last week, I attended two funerals, and as I sat there, listening to the stories of their lives, I couldn’t help but reflect: What legacy am I leaving behind? And more importantly, am I living that legacy today? Then, as if the universe wanted to make sure I got the message, my best friend said something that stopped me in my tracks. She said, ‘I miss you.’ And I realized—I had been so busy, I hadn’t noticed how much time had slipped by."

"So today, we’re talking about connection. Not just the casual texts or quick hellos, but the deep, meaningful relationships that shape the legacy we leave behind. Because the truth is, when someone is no longer with us, it’s too late to say, ‘I wish I had reached out.’ But it’s not too late today."
