Have you ever answered a simple question with a tone that surprised even you?

In this episode of And That's Okay!, Lisa Rena Scott explores the hidden emotional exhaustion that can show up as irritability, resentment, decision fatigue, withdrawing from people you love, or feeling like one more request is too much. The question may not be the problem. It may be the final demand on a reserve that has already been running low.

Using the Name It. Claim It. Navigate It. framework, you will learn how to look underneath the reaction, identify the feeling and unmet need beneath it, and choose small intentional shifts that help you move forward with more clarity and care.

In this conversation, you will learn how to:

• recognize the warning signs that show up before you reach your limit;

• name what may be underneath anger: overwhelm, resentment, frustration, or exhaustion;

• turn unspoken expectations into clear communication;

• stop treating every task as equally urgent; and

• repair a moment when your emotions affect someone else.

If you have been carrying the mental load, managing a full calendar, or wondering why your patience feels so thin lately, this episode is a compassionate place to start. Your feelings are giving you information, even when the situation needs attention—and that's okay.

Listen, save this episode for the next hard day, and share it with someone who has been carrying a lot.

When life does not go the way you planned, it is easy to assume the resistance means you should stop. But what if the obstacle is not a verdict about you?

In this episode of And That’s Okay! with Lisa Rena Scott, Lisa uses the roots of a fall tree to explore what happens when you encounter hard soil, rocks, changing plans, busy seasons, and people who push back on your growth. For busy women and moms, resistance can show up as frustration, disappointment, guilt, fear, exhaustion, or the quiet feeling that there is no room left for you.

Lisa walks you through Name It. Claim It. Navigate It. so you can identify what you are feeling, validate why it makes sense, and decide whether this season calls you to push through, grow around, change direction, wait, or let go.

If you have hit a rock lately, this is your reminder: you do not have to decide what it means about you before you listen to what it is telling you. Save this episode for the next hard day, share it with someone who needs language for her season, and remember: you have feelings about what you are growing through—
And That’s Okay!

Have you ever cried during a movie, laughed with an entire theater, or felt deeply affected by something happening to someone else—and then wondered, “Why is this affecting me so much?”

The story isn't yours. But the feeling is.

In this episode of And That's Okay!, Lisa Rena Scott explores why we can have such real emotional responses to stories, experiences and emotions that don't belong directly to us.

From watching a fictional family experience loss, to laughing with a theater full of strangers, to feeling pride when your child succeeds or sadness when a coworker is struggling, Lisa explores the fascinating idea of narrative transportation—what happens when we become emotionally absorbed in someone else's story.

More importantly, she asks a question that can change the way we understand our feelings:

“What did that touch in me?”

Because a feeling doesn't have to be about your situation to contain information about you.

You don't have to dismiss it.

You don't have to fix it.

And you don't have to act on every feeling you have.

Sometimes you simply need to understand why something moved you.

The story may not be yours… but the feeling is.

And that's okay.

🎙️ Listen now and then ask yourself: What has moved you lately?

You finally have what you prayed for—but you’re still anxious. In this honest, girlfriend-to-girlfriend conversation, Lisa Rena Scott explores gratitude, anxiety, disbelief, and faith. An answered prayer does not automatically turn off your nervous system, and feeling nervous does not mean you are ungrateful or that you do not trust God. Through Maya’s story of receiving a new job and immediately fearing she will fail, this episode offers a simple way forward: name what you feel, separate facts from fear, take the next honest step, and remember, “This is good, and it is new.”

In this intimate episode of And That’s Okay!, we talk about the uncomfortable side of having open time. You may have been looking forward to a break, only to find yourself checking your phone, creating a list of chores, or wondering whether you are wasting the day.

Using the Name It. Claim It. Navigate It. framework, we unpack three feelings that often show up when responsibility finally quiets down: restlessness, guilt, and uncertainty. These feelings are signals. They can tell you that your body is still moving at the speed of your responsibilities, that you may be carrying an old belief that rest must be earned, or that choosing what you want feels unfamiliar.

You will also receive four practical steps you can use the next time you have a free day:

• Check your actual capacity before choosing an activity.

• Give the day one anchor.

• Use permission before pressure.

• End the day with evidence, not judgment.

If you have ever thought, “I wanted this free time, so why can’t I relax?” this conversation is for you. Save it for your next open day, share it with someone who struggles to rest without guilt, and comment with the feeling that fits you today: restless, guilty, uncertain, tired, lonely, or something else.

Whatever you are feeling, whatever you are going through, you have feelings…And That’s Okay!

Is it Friday, yet?

If you spend Monday through Thursday just trying to survive until Saturday, you may be caught in the Weekend Trap.

In this episode of And That’s Okay!, Lisa Rena Scott unpacks the emotional exhaustion behind living for the weekend—and why two days can't carry the weight of an entire week.

Using the Name It. Claim It. Navigate It. framework, Lisa explores emotional burnout, the pressure to make the weekend perfect, and the hidden cost of an output-only rhythm.

Then she shares practical micro-habits to bring pause, joy and connection into ordinary weekdays: a Tuesday coffee, a midweek walk, a voice-note chain, or a 15-minute screen-free connection micro-dose.

Your life is not waiting for Friday. Your life is happening now.
