Balance isn't weakness—it's wisdom. Saying no isn't selfish—it creates space for your authentic yes. Pausing isn't laziness—it's essential for clarity and renewal.

In this episode, I’m sharing 10 affirmations to guide you through this week — plus a fun self-care activity to help you put them into action.

Protecting your peace is not selfish — it’s strength.
