In this powerful and practical episode, Brittnee N. Smith dives into one of the most overlooked success principles for Christian women in leadership — boundaries. As faith-driven CEOs, creatives, and ministry leaders, we often pour ourselves out until there’s nothing left. But boundaries aren’t barriers — they’re blessings that protect your peace, your productivity, and your anointing.
Brittnee shares how learning to say “no” with grace and “yes” with intention can completely shift how you lead, create, and rest. You’ll discover how protecting your calendar is actually a form of spiritual warfare — a way to stay aligned with God’s rhythm instead of everyone else’s requests.
What You’ll Learn:
Scripture References:
Mark 1:35 – Jesus withdrew to a solitary place to pray.
Luke 5:16 – “But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.”
Ecclesiastes 3:1 – “To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven.”
Key Quote:
“Your boundaries don’t block blessings — they make room for them.”
Takeaway Challenge:
Take a prayerful look at your calendar this week. Ask yourself:
“Does my schedule reflect my assignment or my anxiety?”
Start removing what doesn’t align with what God’s called you to build.
Reflection Prompt:
What do I need to say “no” to in this season?
How can I make more room for what matters most?
Where have I allowed guilt to override God’s guidance?
Boundaries are a leadership skill and a spiritual discipline. As a Kingdom CEO, honoring your time is a form of worship. You can’t lead well if you’re leaking energy in every direction. Protecting your calendar is protecting your capacity.

Sis, it’s time for a reset—not in your brand, but in you. In this deeply personal solo episode, Brittnee N. Smith invites you into a holy pause—a sister check-in—where you’re challenged to stop the hustle long enough to feel again.
Inspired by her Ministers in Training class and the book Emotionally Healthy Discipleship, Brittnee unpacks the difference between being and doing, and how many of us—especially high-achieving, faith-filled women—have made doing our default and being a luxury we feel guilty for craving.
Through Scripture, story, and straight talk, you’ll hear:
Why busyness isn't always obedience
How to identify when your content and energy are forced
What it looks like when your brand gets bloated because your soul is neglected
And how the presence of God—not productivity—is the true source of clarity and power
This episode is not a training—it’s a wake-up call.
💡 Listener To-Do:Schedule one hour this week that’s just for being. No calls. No content. No calendar. Just you, a journal, your Bible, and God.
Use this journaling prompt: “God, who am I when I’m not producing?” Sit with the question. Write freely. Let Him speak to your identity beyond the output.
