Listen "Let Your Yes Be Yes: The Cost of Misplaced Commitments"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textAm I the only one? Have you ever said “yes” when you really meant “maybe” — or agreed to something you knew wasn’t yours to carry?Oh, so it’s not just me.Yeah, saying yes out of habit, out of guilt, or just wanting to be the one people can count on — until those yeses started costing me peace, purpose, and alignment. I found myself overextended, overcommitted, and wondering how I got there.What I’m sharing today isn’t about time management — it’s about truth management. Because every time we say yes to the wrong thing, we say no to the thing that actually matters.I talk about a pattern that kept showing up in my life and the moment I had to stop pretending it was harmless. Saying yes to things God never co-signed or called me to do wasn’t service — it was self-made stress. In fact, it was also a quiet form of dishonesty.There was a moment that made me stop and really look in the mirror — a moment that reminded me that integrity starts when your no stays no, your yes stays yes, and both come from the right place.This one’s for the people-pleasers, the over-doers, the “I got it” folks carrying more than they were ever meant to. Because legacy isn’t built on convenience — it’s built on consistency, obedience, and integrity.Listen now — and when it hits, don’t keep it to yourself.Share it with someone who’s learning to honor their yes and protect their peace.Subscribe so you never miss what’s next.Follow the movement at @leavethepilehigher.Rate and review the show to help more people find these conversations.BUILD IT.
