288. The Tiny Yeses That Change Your Life

What if saying yes to yourself isn't about making dramatic life changes—but about honoring yourself in the hundreds of tiny decisions you make every day?  In this episode, Megan Bauer wraps up this week's conversation on self-honoring by showing how lasting change happens through small, intentional choices. From asking for help to protecting your time, voicing your preferences, and creating space for yourself before the day takes over, Megan offers practical ways to stop putting yourself last without becoming selfish. If you've spent years dismissing your own needs, this episode will help you rebuild self-trust one small "yes" at a time—and remind you that honoring yourself isn't a luxury. It's part of becoming who you were created to be. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why saying yes to yourself doesn't require drastic life changes. The importance of acknowledging your needs before making a decision. How tiny daily choices build (or break) self-trust. Why intentional time for yourself should come before the day gets away from you. Practical ways to honor yourself, even when you're busy serving others. Why asking for help is an act of strength—not weakness. How to listen to your own desires before automatically responding to others. Why your needs and preferences are valuable information—not inconveniences. How keeping promises to yourself strengthens your confidence. Why your life is ultimately shaped by hundreds of small "yeses," not one giant breakthrough. Learning to say yes to yourself isn't about becoming selfish—it's about intentionally honoring your needs, your time, and your calling in small ways every single day. Those tiny acts of self-honoring become the foundation of a more intentional, vibrant life.
