Ever feel like you’re running on empty but still trying to pour into everyone else? Same. 


In this episode, we’re getting real about something super tough—we had to cancel a retreat we were SO looking forward to. Why? Because one of our bodies, hearts, and minds was waving the white flag. We needed rest. We needed space. And we needed each other.


We’re talking all things boundaries, burnout, and how hard (but holy!) it is to say “no”—even when it’s to something good. Ministry life can be beautiful and heavy, and we’re learning to care for our souls before they scream at us.


So grab your coffee, kick off your shoes, and join us for a heart-to-heart about friendship, self-care, and why letting people in can change everything.


 Real-Life Takeaways:

  • Saying “no” to ourselves? Oof. But necessary.
  • Breaks aren’t weak—they’re wise.
  • Your body will speak up if you’re not listening.
  • Boundaries = loving others and yourself well.
  • Self-care is spiritual, y’all.
  • Leaning on your people isn’t a burden—it’s a blessing.
  • Asking for help ≠ failing.
  • You serve better when you’re whole.
  • Saying no can actually bring you peace (what a concept!).
  • Friendship = showing up and slowing down together.
