  • 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.

  • You Have to Be Delusional Enough to Believe It Before It Happens

    You Have to Be Delusional Enough to Believe It Before It Happens
    2026/07/03

    When Brandi quit her job in 2017, she was pregnant with her second child. Casey was a non-rate in the Coast Guard making the least amount of money possible. They lived in a tiny apartment in Pensacola they called the Raisin Box. And not a single person in her life was willing to look her in the eyes and say: do it. It is going to be okay.

    So she did it anyway.

    In Episode 10 of Taking Life by the Raines, Brandi is talking directly to the person who is struggling to keep going. The one who is distracted, comparing herself, and unsure whether what God called her to is even real. The one who is waiting for someone to tell her it is okay to take the leap. Brandi is going to be that person today.

    She talks through quitting her job, the Lira hair launch, being delusional enough to believe before it happens, why consistency beats talent every single time, and what ten years of ordinary moments have built into something only God could have designed.

    In this episode:

    • Quitting her job pregnant with no safety net and nobody telling her it was okay

    • Why consistency will take you further than any talent you have

    • You have to be delusional enough to believe it before it happens

    • The difference between fake it till you make it and embodying the habits of success

    • You will be the only thing that stops you — not the market, not the algorithm

    • Why she hid her business milestones and stopped celebrating her own success

    • Scarcity mindset, therapy, and rewiring her relationship with money

    • God will give you the tools, the money, and the strength — if it is His will

    • If it feels forced, it is probably not for you — here is how to tell the difference

    • Launching Lira: the hair company and what Lira means in Hebrew

    • Your future success is built on ordinary moments, not one big breakthrough

    • Stop comparing your process to someone else's calling

  • Setting Boundaries and Protecting My Peace | The Things I Have Stopped Apologizing For

    Setting Boundaries and Protecting My Peace | The Things I Have Stopped Apologizing For
    2026/06/25

    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.
