Have you ever looked at your week and thought, “How in the world did I say yes to all this?” Yep… same. Too often we hand out our “yes” like it’s free samples at Costco — without realizing it’s costing us our peace, our priorities, and sometimes our purpose.
In this episode of Women Around the Well, I’m sharing how learning to give my best yes (and not just every yes) has changed the way I show up for the people I love most. This isn’t about saying “no” to everything — it’s about saying “yes” to the things that actually bless others, line up with your values, and leave you with margin instead of mayhem.
You’ll hear:
✨ A personal story of duct tape, prayer, and realizing not every good thing is my thing.
✨ How one small yes opened a big door to blessing in my family.
✨ Why boundaries aren’t selfish — they’re sacred.
✨ Practical ways to share what you love with the people you love without burning out.
As Lysa TerKeurst reminds us in The Best Yes: “Saying yes all the time won’t make me Wonder Woman. It will make me a worn-out woman.” Amen and amen.
If you’ve been running on empty, this episode will give you the encouragement (and maybe a little sass) to quit handing out your yes like free samples — and start saving it for the places where it matters most.
