Boundaries vs. Capacity: The Hidden Key to Clarity
Manage episode 482879013 series 3501759
In this episode of Striving Butterfly, we explore the powerful difference between boundaries and protecting your capacity — and how learning to honour both can bring lasting clarity and direction in your life.
From training for the London Marathon, preparing for a trip to Africa, and planning the ORE Women’s Conference, I’ve learned that just having boundaries isn’t enough. You also need to be honest about what you actually have to give.
We cover:
- What boundaries and capacity really are
- How to manage both without guilt
- 5 practical steps to apply today
- Why slowing down isn’t weakness — it’s wisdom
- A scriptural foundation to help you stay rooted and clear
Scripture: Proverbs 4:23 – “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”
