162: The Power of No: How to Gain More Energy, Peace, and Thriving Health

Are you ready to have more energy, thriving health, and lasting peace—but feel like you’re constantly stuck in survival mode? In this episode, we talk about the hidden trade-off behind every decision: every “yes” you say is also an automatic “no” to something else. If you want to step into a season of better health and peace, you’ll need to get intentional about what you allow in—and what you choose to cut out.

This episode is especially for Christian women who are balancing family, health struggles, homeschooling, and busy schedules, and who want to align their choices with God’s design for wellness. You’ll walk away with practical examples, biblical encouragement, and motivation to say yes to the things that matter most—and no to the distractions holding you back.

• Productivity isn’t just about time management—it’s about attention management.
