Let’s talk about it. That deep ache to be seen. The times you bent yourself in half just to be picked. The moments you overgave, stayed too long, or said “yes” when your soul was screaming “no.”

This episode is for the part of you that thought being chosen meant being worthy.

And it’s time to rewrite that story.

In this episode of the Grow & Glow Guide Podcast, we’re breaking down:

🔸 Why we chase approval, connection, and closeness — even at the cost of ourselves

🔸 How self-abandonment becomes a habit we mistake for love

🔸 The difference between validation and true self-worth

🔸 5 steps to begin healing the pattern of overperforming just to be picked

🔸 And a reminder that your worth isn’t up for negotiation. It’s yours, no matter who claps.

🧍🏽‍♀️ Whether it was childhood wounds, past relationships, or a fear of being alone — this cycle ends now.

🌱 GROW & GLOW CHALLENGE

Theme: Stop waiting to be chosen — choose YOU.

1. Write a letter to the version of you who begged to be picked. Let her know: “You were always enough. You never had to chase love. You can rest now.”
2. Identify one moment this week where you feel the urge to perform, please, or prove. Ask yourself: “Am I doing this from truth or a need to be accepted?”
3. Affirm this daily: 🗣 “I no longer beg to be seen by people who refuse to recognize me.”
4. Do one thing just for YOU. Not for applause. Not to be liked. Not to be picked. For your peace. For your healing. For your freedom.

📲 Listen now wherever you get your podcasts — and don’t forget to like, rate, and share if this one hits home.

We’re doing the work over here — and every episode is one step closer to freedom.

It’s time to stop performing. It’s time to start honoring yourself.

You ever look up and realize you’re in the same emotional space, the same type of relationship, the same dead-end situation — all over again?

This week on the Glow & Grow Guide Podcast, we’re getting to the ROOT of it. We’re talking about why cycles repeat in our lives, how to spot them, and most importantly — how to break free.

Whether it’s emotional patterns, toxic relationships, or limiting beliefs…

This episode will help you reclaim your power and rewrite your story.

💬 What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why the same patterns keep showing up
• How cycles are formed (and how to unlearn them)
• 5 steps to start breaking the cycle today
• How to choose differently — even when it feels uncomfortable

📝 GLOW & GROW CHALLENGE:

1️⃣ Write down one pattern in your life that keeps repeating

2️⃣ Identify the trigger or emotion that starts it

3️⃣ Ask: What’s the belief behind this pattern?

4️⃣ Replace that belief with a truth that supports your growth

5️⃣ Choose one small action this week that breaks the cycle

🧠 Because awareness is the first step — but action is what sets you free.

🦋 Let’s glow & grow, y’all.

Because protecting your peace is only the beginning — keeping it takes courage.

You set the boundary. You finally said no. You told the truth.

And then came the guilt trip…

The silence…

The “you’ve changed” comments…

In Episode 16 of the Glow & Grow Guide Podcast, I’m breaking down what happens when people don’t like your growth — and how to stay rooted in your boundary even when it’s uncomfortable.

You’ll learn:

🛑 How pushback shows up (guilt trips, gaslighting, emotional manipulation)

🧠 What to do when someone tries to make you feel like the problem

💬 How to restate your boundary without overexplaining

🧍🏽‍♀️ Why you don’t need approval to honor your truth

🌱

GLOW & GROW CHALLENGE: Stand Firm Anyway

This week, I want you to practice holding the line.

1. Choose a boundary you’ve already tried to set — but someone pushed back.
2. Write down how you want to restate it — clearly and without apology.

Example: “Like I mentioned earlier, I’m not available for that.”

Or: “I understand it’s frustrating, but my answer remains the same.”

1. Say it out loud. Practice it. Own it. Breathe through it.
2. Hold the line. Even if they get uncomfortable. Even if you feel guilty. Because protecting your peace isn’t about pleasing them — it’s about choosing you.

💬 Let me know in the comments what boundary you’re holding this week — or which type of pushback you’ve faced before.

🎧 Now streaming on Spotify, Apple, YouTube, Amazon Music & iHeart.

✨ Share this with someone who’s been second-guessing their glow.

It’s time to stop shrinking.

Hold the boundary. Even when they push back. 💛

Setting a boundary sounds easy… until your chest gets tight, your voice shakes, and guilt starts creeping in.

In this episode, Coach Faith breaks down the emotional roadblocks that make boundary-setting feel hard — and gives you simple, powerful tools to start honoring your limits without shame.

💡 What you’ll learn: • Why guilt shows up when you start saying “no” • How to set boundaries without overexplaining • Scripts you can use in real-life situations • The difference between being kind and being a people-pleaser • How boundaries are a form of self-love, not punishment

This week, try this boundary-setting practice: 1. Choose ONE boundary you’ve been avoiding. (Family? Work? Friends? Yourself?) 2. Write down how you want to communicate it. Use the scripts I gave in the episode or come up with your own. 3. Notice what emotions come up. Fear? Guilt? Peace? Name them, don’t judge them. 4. SET IT. Say it out loud. Hold it gently but firmly. 5. Reflect. How did it feel to finally speak your truth?

This week we’re kicking off a brand new series on something that’s about to stir some things up: BOUNDARIES.

Here’s the truth — growth requires discomfort, and so does freedom. And if we’re honest, many of us struggle with boundaries because of fear, guilt, people-pleasing, or simply not knowing what they look like in practice. But boundaries aren’t rejection — they’re self-respect. They’re not walls — they’re clarity.

In this episode, I break down:

💡 What boundaries really are (and why you need them)

💡 5 types of boundaries you should know about: emotional, mental, physical, time, and digital

💡 Why setting boundaries can feel so hard — and why you have to push through that discomfort

💡 Common misconceptions that hold us back

💡 Personal stories + examples you can apply to your own life

And of course, I give you this week’s Grow & Glow Challenge so you can start practicing what we’re talking about.

Remember this affirmation: “My boundaries are a form of self-respect and not rejection.” 💭

If you’ve been struggling to say no, to protect your time, or to stop carrying things that aren’t yours, this episode is for you.

👉 Tune in, drop your reflections in the comments, and let’s glow through this growth together.

We’ve reached the final chapter of our Self-Love & Self-Worth Series — and this one is all heart, all truth, and all growth. 💛

In this episode, we’re digging deep into what happens when you love yourself… but don’t believe in your worth. Or when you know your worth… but don’t actually show yourself love.

Here’s the truth:

You need both — not just to survive, but to thrive.

When self-love and self-worth come together, that’s when you stop settling, stop shrinking, and start showing up for the version of you that’s been waiting to be seen.

🧠 We’re talking real-life examples, some eye-opening stats, and a challenge that’ll help you put this into practice right now.

🌱 Affirmation of the week: I am rooted in love and grounded in worth. I honor who I am and grow stronger every day from the inside out.

This week on the Grow and Glow Guide, we’re talking about what it really means to walk in your value without compromise. 💎

Too often we shrink ourselves to be “affordable” emotionally, mentally, or spiritually for others. But your value is not on clearance. This episode is about standing firm in your worth, setting standards that reflect your true self, and embracing boundaries that invite respect—not excuses.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

🔥 Recognizing your value before anyone else does

🔥 Knowing the difference between being wanted and being worthy

🔥 Why your standards are a reflection of your value

🔥 How boundaries protect your peace without isolating you

🔥 The power of never negotiating your non-negotiables

This conversation is about unapologetically saying: “You can’t afford me if it costs me my peace, my dignity, or my truth.”

💬 Grow and Glow Challenge:

Think about one area of your life where you’ve been lowering your price—whether in relationships, work, or even with yourself. Write it down and declare: “My value is non-negotiable.”
