About this listen

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.

Key Takeaways

  • Every yes is also a no—your choices either fuel or drain your health.

  • Distractions like social media, overspending, or too much TV quietly rob you of peace and energy.

  • Even good commitments may need to be set aside for a season in order to rest and recharge.

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

  • Saying no helps you protect your God-given energy, peace, and priorities.

Practical Tips to Protect Your Peace

  • Focus on attention management rather than cramming more into your schedule.

  • Replace multitasking with single-tasking for greater energy and focus.

  • Build in mental fitness habits: sleep, prayer, healthy nutrition, uplifting books, and quality relationships.
