In this powerful and heartfelt episode of Marriage, Motherhood, and PTSD, Coach Leah shares how to protect your peace without losing yourself in the process. Still on the road to resilience this season, she dives deep into what it means to set boundaries that honor God, love others, and protect your mental, emotional, and spiritual health.

Coach Leah opens up about the common peace-stealers in our lives—people-pleasing, comparison, guilt, chaos, and unrealistic expectations—and reminds us that peace isn’t passive. It’s a practice. She teaches how boundaries aren’t a sign of selfishness but a sign of wisdom, love, and spiritual maturity.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

The holy reason boundaries matter (and how to set them with love)
How to identify what’s been stealing your peace
Why guarding your heart is a spiritual practice (Proverbs 4:23)
Daily tools to reclaim your peace through breathwork, journaling, and soul-care
How to stand in your God-given identity and stop over-explaining your “no”
Scriptures to center your mind and renew your focus
What to do when fear, anxiety, and people’s opinions try to control your mood

Coach Leah also walks you through a practical coaching moment at the end with journal prompts and weekly action steps to apply what you’ve learned in real life.
