This is part four of the High Functioning Christian Women in Destructive Marriages series, and today we talk about a concept that ties the whole series together: sovereignty.

Synonyms for sovereignty include: freedom, autonomy, and independence.

If you've spent years managing everyone's needs, shrinking your own, and building an identity around your capacity to give without limit, this episode will challenge a misunderstood theology that was never meant for women who are already pouring out from an empty cup.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

Why does even asking yourself "what do I need?" feel like a threat to your survival, not just a little uncomfortable?
What Jesus actually modeled about rest, limits, and saying no might completely reframe what you think faithful living looks like.
The one question you could ask yourself in the mirror every single morning that could quietly begin to change everything.
