About this episode
This episode discusses the importance of not carrying emotional burdens that do not belong to us and emphasizes the need for boundaries to protect our peace.
In this episode of the Devoted to Her podcast, we talk about something many of us struggle with—carrying things that were never ours to carry. So many women have been conditioned to hold the emotional weight of everyone around them. We try to fix problems, manage other people’s feelings, and take responsibility for things that don’t actually belong to us. Over time, that kind of emotional load can leave us drained, overwhelmed, and disconnected from our own peace. This episode is an honest conversation about learning to release what isn’t yours. We talk about how to recognize when you’re carrying someone else’s baggage, why boundaries are necessary for protecting your peace, and how letting go of what isn’t yours can create space for clarity, healing, and freedom. Protecting your peace isn’t selfish—it’s wisdom. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by other people’s expectations, emotions, or problems, this conversation will encourage you to pause, reflect, and ask an important question: *Is this mine to carry?*
