🎙002. Episode Title: The Cost of Prioritizing Yourself: What You Lose, What You Gain, and How Faith Guides the Journey 📘 Episode Summary:

What if choosing you meant losing everything you thought you needed—but gaining everything God meant for you to have?

In this heartfelt episode of Dr. Rolanda’s Bright IDEAs, we’re talking about the often unseen, uncomfortable cost of choosing personal growth, emotional healing, and faith-led wellness. Dr. Rolanda unpacks what it really means to prioritize your well-being in a world that expects you to keep sacrificing—and how scripture and spiritual alignment light the path forward.

If you’ve ever felt guilty for wanting more, uncertain about what you’re leaving behind, or stuck between where you’ve been and who you're becoming, this episode will meet you where you are—and walk with you into what’s next.

🔑 What You’ll Learn:

• Why letting go is often the first step to true alignment

• The spiritual power of setting boundaries without guilt

• How God uses disruption to lead us toward divine purpose

• What you gain when you release toxic relationships, burnout careers, or outdated versions of yourself

• Scriptural insight for navigating discomfort during seasons of change
