The good stuff often comes through the tough stuff, and deeply rooted friendships require boundaries. Boundaries aren’t easy, but they also aren’t designed to be a wall. They are a fence that keeps out the bad, but protects and welcomes the good. I’ll leave the rest right here in this video...

Every six to eight weeks Cassandra Hager covers my roots and we cover humans hottest topics. These range from how long we think the marriage between Prince Harry and Meghan will last to why it’s hard for people to communicate what they really feel. (Yes…a very very wide net of topics.) This week on The Lauren Rainey Tenney Show we are talking boundaries and work. Because there is literally no one that has to draw that line more than Cassandra Hager. Cassandra owns her own salon and a LOT of her clients are her friends too. That could get dicey but when you learn the biblical foundational tools of boundaries, it isn’t scary, weird, or hard to put those in place. We talk about how to do it and how important it is for a smooth working relationship with co-workers, business partners, and bosses. *** Need some honest talk? Like, really honest?

When learning how to operate from your true self, and not your ego, it is so important for you to understand and acknowledge your response to the circumstances and situations in your life. We can often act or react out of fear, hurt, and resentment. It is your responsibility to take ownership of the moments in your day where you operate from your ego, and correct it. Please reach out if you have any questions, or need to talk this out.

How can you take responsibility to implement boundaries in your life?

How are you developing the inside of you?

2 Corinthians 10:5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” This is how we win. Every. Single. Time.

For most of my early life I NEEDED to be seen and heard so I would feel validated and loved. Now, I WANT to be seen and heard by the people that NEED what God has shown me about how perfect HIS validation is. Very different places to be.

We put so much weight on the outcome of things we can’t control. Detaching yourself from the outcome is so powerful. The quicker you can do this, the quicker you get all the good stuff in life and the more beautiful everything gets. I’ll leave the rest in this video. Please reach out if you need help on steps to do this.

Work/life balance is such an elusive term. Waking up as a mom, a wife, a business owner, a friend, a mentor… I often wonder how I’ll accomplish all that I need to in a day. It’s crucial that each morning, I remind myself where my priorities lie, and for me, my family comes first. I encourage you to do the same friends. Doing everything with intentionality is key. You are doing a great job. I’m only a DM away if you need encouragement.

The voices in my head kept trying to tell me that I wasn’t, and never would be, good enough. They told me I would never experience joy or happiness. I fought back. Why? Because I know for a fact that my Creator created me to love to live, and in order to get there, I had to do whatever it took to get those voices in my head to stop. If you’ve ever felt this way, or are currently going through this, I hope you watch this video and find encouragement, and a place to start fighting back at the lies those voices are telling you.

We are all busy. Whether with kids, your career, chasing dreams, marriage, dating...the list goes on and on, and many of you are juggling multiple of these. The rewards of living an intentional life, of living in the present moment - that is enjoyment, fulfillment, beauty, and fullness. We can have it. YOU can have it. If you feel like you are running ragged, this video is for you.

The dreams we have were laid on our heart by our Creator. He made us to dream, and shoot for the stars, and to think outside of the box. Ever since I can remember, I have been a big dreamer. And I think most kids are when they’re little. But then life happens and somewhere along the way, the dreaming becomes less intensive, smaller, and sometimes for people, nonexistent. If I were with you I would ask you, “What is your most audacious dream?” You would probably tell me something small. To which I would reply, “go bigger.” And we would have this exchange until I saw your face light up and heard the excitement and hope in your voice that maybe, just maybe, it’s not too late. BUT, we need to put our dreams somewhere visible. We need to put all of them somewhere we see them every. single. day. until they have seeped into our hearts, our subconscious, and are literally being manifested by our faith and belief that God can do BIG things, at ANY time, and with ANYONE!!! I challenge you to start writing all of the dreams you used to have, and the dreams you have now. Don’t limit yourself. Shoot for something crazy, imaginative, and beautiful. That is what life is. 💛

Parenting is relentless. Our constant follow through is what will insure we have the best chance at raising humans that leave this world better than when they entered. 💛 I would love for you to watch this short video and send me your thoughts.

It is so easy to get caught up with comparison, and if I’m being honest, I struggle with this too. We live in a time where simply opening up your phone allows you to be consumed with thoughts of... Am I enough? Am I pretty enough? Am I successful enough? Is my car as nice as theirs? The list could truly go on and on. After having a conversation with friends, we talked about how important it is to change your perspective. To truly change the narrative. Instead of staying in a mindset of comparison, we switch to CELEBRATING others instead. Celebrate others’ success, and happiness, and career achievements, and I promise you things will start to shift for you. Today, I challenge you to start making this shift. Reach out if you need anything. I’m only a DM away.

Spencer has always said to me, “There is no reconciliation without accountability.” Taking responsibility for what you are bringing to the table is one of the biggest pieces of the puzzle if you want to experience true peace and joy. Phew. More often than not, this is hard for us to acknowledge, but y’all, it is so crucial to continuing your boundaries journey. Whether it’s resentment in your career because you didn’t get that promotion, or a lack of communication within your family, these things poison our energy and take away our ability to love others well and experience true joy. Taking responsibility for our resentment and in return communicating our wants, needs, and desires allows things to change. Dig deep, acknowledge, hold yourself accountable, change the course - this can set you free. Trust me, I’ve been there. I’m only a message away. 💛

In Hebrews 11:1, this is an account of so many people who on paper should have believed one thing but instead believed for better. Believed out of the box and because they knew God was that big, those things came to pass. Imagine if the collective woke up every morning visualizing, praying for, believing with everything in us that the world could be better? That people would be more understanding. That our lives were improving minute by minute. Start flipping the script today. Do it for you. Do it for me. I promise I will return the favor. 💗
