37: You're Invited. Now What?

You open your phone. There it is — a text, a DM, an invite.

And suddenly you’re spiraling: Should I go? Should I stay home? Am I tired, or am I scared? Will I regret it if I say no? Will I regret it if I say yes?

If you’ve ever wrestled with the internal debate that comes with invitations, whether it’s a girls’ night, a work event, or even something at church, this episode is for you.

In today’s conversation, I’m unpacking how to tell the difference between:

✨ FOMO (fear of missing out) vs alignment

✨ Rest that refuels vs avoidance that drains

✨ A sacred yes vs a brave no

You’ll walk away with reflection questions you can use the next time an invite shows up so you can stop second-guessing yourself, release the guilt, and choose what’s truly aligned for you.

Because here’s the truth: your worth isn’t measured by how many invitations you accept. Rest can be brave. Showing up can be brave. Either way, alignment is the goal.
