Have you ever noticed how often women say sorry?

Sorry I'm late. Sorry I need help. Sorry for asking. Sorry for being emotional. Somewhere along the way we were conditioned to apologize for taking up space. And in Episode 9 of Taking Life by the Raines, Brandi is done.

This is the list of things she has stopped apologizing for. And she wants you to stop apologizing for them too.

She opens with the difference between being kind and abandoning yourself. She talks through protecting her peace, saying no with her chest, outgrowing people and seasons, dimming her ambition because she felt guilty about her own success, and the moment she realized her faith creates a divide and she is okay with that. She closes with Galatians 1:10 — am I trying to win the approval of human beings or of God?

In this episode:

• Why women are conditioned to over-apologize and over-explain

• Protecting your peace is not selfish — it is good stewardship of what God gave you

• Not every conversation and not every opinion deserves access to you

• No is a full sentence. No explanation required.

• Every yes is a no to something else — and that matters

• Outgrowing people, places, and seasons — and why it comes with grief

• Dimming your ambition because you feel guilty about your own success

• What agape love actually means and how it changes the way you serve

• Galatians 1:10: am I trying to win the approval of people or of God

• Stop making everyone else so comfortable that you live uncomfortably in your own skin

• Life is short. You are not promised tomorrow. Say it with your chest.
