25. How Christian Moms Can Set Healthy Boundaries Without Guilt

Struggling to set healthy boundaries without feeling guilty? Have you ever felt like needing space from someone you love made you selfish, unloving, or like a bad Christian?  If so, this episode is for you. In today’s conversation, we’re talking about how to set healthy boundaries as a Christian mom when love feels complicated. I’m sharing part of my own story of walking through a hard relationship, what God taught me about protecting my peace, and why boundaries are not the absence of love. We’re also looking at the biblical process Jesus gives us in Matthew 18, along with the internal prep work that matters first: pray, practice, and ponder. If you’ve been carrying guilt, confusion, or emotional heaviness in a relationship, I pray this episode reminds you that God cares about your heart, your peace, and the burdens you’ve been quietly carrying.
