  • You Are Not Meant to Be Everybody’s Cup of Tea | God Designed You That Way on Purpose

    You Are Not Meant to Be Everybody’s Cup of Tea | God Designed You That Way on Purpose
    2026/09/24
    Do you leave every social situation and immediately replay the whole thing in your head? Did I talk too much? Did that come off weird? Did I offend them? Do they even like me? Girl. You are not alone. And this episode is going to set you free from that weight. 💜 In Season 2 Episode 2 of Taking Life by the Raines, Brandi is getting into something she heard and could not stop thinking about: you were never meant to be perfectly experienced by everyone. Not every person you meet is going to like you, receive you, or understand you. And not only is that okay, it is by design. This is the episode for the people pleaser who has spent her whole life performing instead of being known. The woman who replays conversations at 2am. The one who wants so badly for people to understand her heart that she has been shrinking herself to make sure nobody is ever offended. This one is for you. In this episode: You were never meant to be perfectly experienced by everyone and that is the most freeing thing you will hear today The social anxiety of replaying every conversation: am I the only one who does this? You are not meant to be everybody's cup of tea and God designed it that way on purpose Being liked requires performance. Being known requires vulnerability. Why childhood trauma makes vulnerability feel dangerous and how to work through it The difference between self-awareness and self-surveillance and which one is keeping you stuck The enemy fights hardest right before you let somebody fully know you. Here is why. Being fully known by God is your superpower and it is the only opinion that actually sets you free Deeper, more meaningful relationships are waiting on the other side of this fear New episodes every Thursday.

  • I Was a People Pleaser Who Burned Out | Here Is What God Taught Me When I Finally Stopped

    I Was a People Pleaser Who Burned Out | Here Is What God Taught Me When I Finally Stopped
    2026/09/17
    She is back. And she came back with the one thing God has been pressing into her all year. When things get hard, that does not mean stop. I took my birthday month off this podcast because I genuinely could not breathe. Running a supplement company, a beauty business, a hair company, showing up for my kids, my marriage, and my faith all at once had me drinking water out of a fire hydrant. I was burned out. Overwhelmed. And doing that thing we all do where we start reading our hard seasons as a sign from God that we must be going the wrong direction. That is the lie. And Season 2 of Taking Life by the Raines starts by calling it out. In this episode I share everything that has been happening in my world, the full life update, and the one conviction that is going to anchor this entire season. Because if you have ever stopped something God called you to because it got hard, this episode is for you. In this episode: - The people pleaser and burnout spiral: why I finally stopped and what I found when I did - Hard does not mean wrong: stop reading resistance as a no from God - Everything God has called you through was placed there to build you for what comes next - The early days with Casey: getting pregnant three months after meeting, boot camp, the courthouse, two kids in one year of knowing each other - Building Exalted supplements from my kitchen table with clean ingredients in a crowded market - Launching the Lira hair company and what Lira means in Hebrew - The possible third child: what God has been downloading in my heart and the vasectomy reversal conversation - Stop giving your kids your leftovers: they deserve the best of you, not what is left at the end of the day - Healing is generational wealth: do the hard work now so your kids do not carry it - Get a therapist not just your friends: the difference between unbiased truth and comfortable agreement - The prayer that has changed everything: God, if this is your will, convict my heart - When it gets hard, lean in and ask God what you are supposed to learn, not how to get out Welcome to Season 2. 💜 📲 Follow Taking Life by the Raines: Instagram: instagram.com/takinglifebytheraines/ TikTok: tiktok.com/takinglifebythera Facebook: facebook.com/takinglifebytheraines/ 📲 Follow Brandi: Instagram: instagram.com/brandirainesbeauty/ TikTok: tiktok.com/brandirainesbeauty Facebook: facebook.com/followbrandiraines/ About me and my links: msha.ke/brandirainesbeauty_ Shop my Komigo storefront: komigo.me/brandi 🎧 Listen on Spotify and Apple Podcasts: takinglifebytheraines.com #takinglifebytheraines #brandiraines #burnoutmom #healingisgenerationalwealth #peoplepleaser #christianwomen #mompreneur #hardseasonsfaith #womenempowerment #millennialmom 0:00 Welcome back: Brandi returns from her birthday month off 0:29 Burned out, overwhelmed, and drinking from a fire hydrant 0:57 Ten years of building online since 2017 1:40 Quitting her job to do makeup videos and Casey saying go for it 2:05 Women who started in 2017 are still here, and there is something to that 2:29 Casey: agape tattooed on his wrist, not a bad bone in his body 3:18 A possible third child: what God has downloaded in her heart 4:31 Exalted supplements: clean ingredients, kitchen table start, a crowded market 5:36 The beauty business: live every day, ten years strong 6:03 Lira: the hair company she just launched 6:46 Grateful and overwhelmed at the same time: the tension of this season 7:00 The one conviction God has pressed into her all year: get used to things being hard 7:52 Staying true to your calling when everything around you makes you question it 8:24 Stop playing the Holy Spirit and reading hard as a no from God 9:19 Looking back: the hard things were perfectly placed to build you for your blessings 10:13 Stop asking God to get you out: ask what you are supposed to learn 10:34 The early days with Casey: 22 years old, no college, no plan 11:48 Finding out she was pregnant while Casey was at boot camp 13:23 Married, pregnant, expecting again within one year of meeting each other 14:38 God was writing their story from the beginning 29:36 Watching her daughter struggle in middle school and knowing when not to rescue her 30:20 He is not going to be 30 peeing his pants: perspective on hard parenting seasons 31:00 Business clicks in cycles: showing up in the slow months too 31:30 When things are going well that is exactly when you plant seeds 32:17 Healing is not a checklist: it takes time and sitting with emotions 33:09 Healing is generational wealth: do the work now so your kids do not carry it 33:31 Get a therapist, not just your friends 34:21 Marriage counseling with Casey and what it did for their intimacy 34:45 Resistance does not mean give up, it means lean in 35:00 The prayer: God, if this is your will, convict my heart 36:18 Closing: I am not speaking from a high horse, I am speaking to myself ...

  • The Fine Line Between Entitlement and Healthy Self-Worth | How to Ask for What You Want With Grace

    The Fine Line Between Entitlement and Healthy Self-Worth | How to Ask for What You Want With Grace
    2026/07/24
    I booked a river jump suite in Mexico a year and a half in advance. Paid extra to upgrade. Agreed to sit through a 90 minute timeshare presentation to make it work. And when I checked in, they gave me a different room. What happened next is not my finest moment. In this episode of Taking Life by the Raines, Brandi gets real about a sin she thinks a lot of us struggle with and rarely admit: entitlement. She just got back from Mexico where she was convicted — hard — about the way she showed up when things didn't go as planned. She shares the full story, what it cost her spiritually, what she learned about the difference between entitlement and healthy self-worth, and how she is recalibrating going into this next season. This one is for anyone who has ever let a disappointment turn into a full-blown attitude and known in the moment that they were going too far but just could not stop. In this episode: • The river suite story: booked it, paid for it, didn't get it, and completely lost her witness • The book How to Raise Grateful Kids in an Entitled World and why it convicted her about herself, not her kids • When you're so far in you can't back down — and why it's never too late to stop • Her friend who is still building her faith and why Brandi failed her on this trip • Entitlement is a fine line: where healthy self-worth ends and entitlement begins • Riley at the nail salon: teaching her daughter to ask for what she wants with grace • Sugar goes farther than salt — always lead with grace and kindness • The smiling-on-the-phone sales lesson and what it taught Brandi about energy • The goal is not to expect less — it is to contribute as much as you hope to receive • Holy Spirit, activate: how to hand over the moment when you are too far in to back up • Agape on her wrist and what she forgot to look at all week in Mexico • Practicing gratitude is not about accepting less — it's about seeing life in a God light 📖 The book referenced in this episode: https://a.co/d/05BAL6lu New episodes every week.
