As a self-confessed people-pleaser, Raven Carey-James knows the exhaustion of striving to meet all needs and demands. However in the Bible we can learn from the story of Jacob, that we are allowed to negotiate for a healthier and more balanced routine.
"Jacob’s story illustrates the power of advocating for oneself and establishing clear lines for personal and workplace relationships. It reminds us that we do not have to sacrifice our health or peace of mind for the sake of others. Setting boundaries allows us to serve more effectively and meaningfully, ensuring that our generosity stems from a place of strength and joy rather than exhaustion and resentment."
