Why does something as small as a delayed text or response… or a shift in someone’s tone… have the power to completely unravel you?

If you’ve ever found yourself overthinking, spiraling, or questioning your worth based on how someone treats you—this episode is for you.

In today’s conversation, we’re getting underneath the surface of what’s really happening when people affect us so deeply.

Because it’s not just about them.

It’s about where we’re looking for:

• identity

• security

• validation

• peace

And what happens when we ask people to carry something only God was designed to provide.

We’ll talk about:

• why rejection and inconsistency hit so hard

• the difference between looking horizontally vs. vertically

• how to stop letting people control your peace

• and what it actually looks like to feel steady—even when others are not

If you’re tired of riding the emotional rollercoaster of other people’s behavior…

this episode will help you find a peace that doesn’t collapse.

If this encouraged you, share it with a friend—and if you’re listening on Apple, scroll down and leave a quick rating or review. It helps more women find this message.
