Giving up guilt with Valorie Burton

Have you ever noticed women tend to feel guilty more often than men? Whether it’s taking a day off or saying no to our children, there’s a lingering little voice inside us that second-guesses the decision we’ve made.    Well, friends, Valorie Burton is here to help us give up the guilt! Valorie is a talented writer, but more than that, she’s dedicated her career to researching how women can lead happier lives, be more successful, and, finally, let go of the never-ending guilt that threatens to hold us back.   In today’s episode, Valorie and I talk about the concept of false guilt and why it’s so important for women to understand their true callings from God. She also shares some practical strategies that we can implement right now to help us break free from the draining and sneaky cycles of guilt.    Stick around for the whole episode because we discuss:   What false guilt looks life in our everyday lives and how to spot it before it starts How to identify spiritual guilt and what to do about it Why conversations about guilt are essential in our relationships How parents can reconcile guilt brought on by the pandemic    Favorite quotes:   1. The thing about guilt is that if we allow it to take control, that’s when it becomes a problem because guilt is a message. 2. Oftentimes we need to notice when our guilt is triggered but also label your guilt.   3. We have to push through those feelings of guilt and be honest with ourselves. Because God will break those clouds open and that sunshine starts to come in.   4. It’s important to notice that your joy is missing. Notice what guilt is doing to dampen your joy and be willing to accept what is.    Great things we discussed:    1. Valorie Burton 2. Let Go of The Guilt 3.Curious George 4.
