Do you have a hard time noticing what you need or speaking up because you’re afraid you won’t be taken seriously? In Episode 44, Brooklynn shares five practical steps to help Christian women recognize their needs, believe those needs are worthy of consideration, and speak up in a healthy, biblical way without swinging into selfishness or control.
You’ll also hear why self-care is not selfish, how stress and self-neglect can quietly affect your health and daily life, and what healthy interdependence can look like when your needs and someone else’s needs both matter.
⏱️ What You’ll Hear:
• How to notice needs you may have gotten used to minimizing or dismissing
• How to value your needs without making them more important than everyone else’s
• Biblical encouragement for caring for yourself, speaking honestly, and creating healthier limits
🌿 Quick Win Practice:
You’ll be encouraged to slow down and check in with yourself after doing something difficult like speaking up, asking for help, or setting a boundary. The goal is to help you care for yourself through the discomfort, follow through on what matters, and remember that healthy self-care and healthy boundaries can get easier with practice.
