Permission to Say No: You Don’t Have to Do It All

Feel the holiday pressure mounting? This is your annual permission slip to opt out of what drains you and lean into what truly matters. In this episode, Sterling walks through setting calm, faith-filled boundaries so November–January don’t steamroll your peace.

What you’ll learn

A simple way to make your holiday list now (so last-minute guilt doesn’t decide for you)
