This episode is a heart-check. We break down what we will and will not compromise, how boundaries differ from control, and the personal rules we use to maintain self-respect in relationships, work, and life. If we’ve ever felt stretched thin or taken for granted, this conversation is for us.

Verse of the Week: Proverbs 4:23 (NIV) - Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.

In this episode, we unpack the hidden harm behind calling ourselves “low maintenance.” From accepting the bare minimum to shrinking our needs to keep the peace, we explore how low expectations open the door to poor treatment and lowered self-worth. We close with a powerful reminder of what God says about our value—and why raising our standards is an act of alignment, not arrogance.

Music - We Cruisin' by Otis McDonald

Verse of the Day - Romans 8:38–39 (NIV) For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

In this episode, we dive deep into the transformative power of therapy and prayer as tools for healing. We explore how embedded feelings of abandonment shape our lives, the ways we remain stuck in survival mode, and the impact of a fixated struggle mindset. Through reflective insights, practical strategies, and personal stories, we uncover how to move from a life of reaction to one of intentional living, self-compassion, and resilience. Whether you’ve wrestled with childhood wounds, ongoing challenges, or cycles of struggle, this episode offers guidance for reclaiming your sense of wholeness and peace.
