Welcome back to If Only One Overcomes! In this episode, we explore a powerful act of healing: setting and maintaining healthy boundaries. If you've ever struggled with saying "no," felt overwhelmed by others’ expectations, or questioned your right to protect your peace—this episode is for you.

After trauma, many of us find it difficult to advocate for our own needs. We may overextend ourselves, fear rejection, or believe we don’t deserve rest or space. But God invites us to guard our hearts and walk in wisdom—boundaries are a part of that sacred calling.

🔑 In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why boundaries are essential for emotional and spiritual healing
• How trauma can lead to people-pleasing, guilt, and over-explaining
• Biblical wisdom on guarding your heart and honoring your limits
• Practical steps to identify, set, and maintain boundaries with confidence
• Empowering truths: Saying “no” is not unkind—it’s honest. Boundaries are not barriers—they’re bridges to healthier living.

📖 Scripture Focus: Proverbs 4:23 – “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” Luke 5:16 – “But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.”

💡 Affirmation for this week: “I am allowed to protect my peace. I honor my healing by setting boundaries that reflect God’s care for me.”

When life’s pain tells us we’re not enough — abuse, betrayal, loss, failure — it’s easy to forget who we really are. But your identity isn’t rooted in what happened to you. It’s rooted in who God says you are: chosen, loved, and deeply valuable.

Katie shares a personal story of how trauma distorted her view of herself — and how God's truth slowly began to heal and restore what had been broken. If you’ve ever felt like you’ve lost yourself in the aftermath of pain, this episode is for you.
