Have you ever struggled with setting boundaries because you feel guilty?

You’re not alone. Many Christian women, especially leaders, caregivers, and those who serve in ministry, wrestle with guilt when it comes to saying “no” or prioritizing their well-being. Society—and sometimes even the church—teaches us that being a “good” woman means always being available, always saying yes, and always putting others before ourselves.

But here’s the truth: Guilt is not from God. In fact, it can become a heavy burden that keeps you in a cycle of people-pleasing, burnout, and resentment.

 So how do we set boundaries in love—without guilt, fear, or hesitation?

In this powerful episode of The Evolution of Me podcast, we continue our March theme: “Protecting Your Heart and Your Time” by tackling one of the biggest emotional barriers to healthy boundaries: GUILT.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

✅ How guilt tricks us into thinking boundaries are selfish or unkind
 ✅ Why guilt has the emotional power to paralyze us and keep us stuck
✅ How to communicate your needs and expectations clearly, kindly, and confidently
✅ How to release guilt and stand firm in our God-given freedom

If you’ve ever felt trapped by guilt, worried about disappointing others, or struggled to communicate your needs, this episode will set you free.

Here’s your reminder: You are not called to serve from exhaustion—you are called to serve from overflow. And that starts with setting healthy boundaries.
