I'm currently working on this. Taking time off social media. And last week, when I was off, I thought to myself that I want to live all my life without social media except obviously TH-cam for sermons and so! It's worth it!
I'm on the same path as you......... I don't watch TV or have any the apps on my phone. It is 3 years since I decided to not watch any of them. I love my life without any that crap
I took care of my mom and dad for 10 years. They liked meat mashed potatoes gravy and desserts. I gained about 100 lbs. My health was bad. After they passed away I took a serious look at myself. I've lost 80 lbs already and am eating healthy. I want to lose another 40. I was blessed to spend so much time with my parents but wish I had not. Neglected myself for so long.
That’s do inspiring it’s hard lose weight I know what you mean it’s literally like walking through drying cement. I think your parents are cheering you on wanting you to do whatever necessary to lose weight and feel healthy. ❤️
Wow congratulations on your weight loss & I pray for opportunities for you to share the wisdoms/lessons you gained in taking care of your parents & how to avoid neglecting yourself. Great job on taking charge of your health! Super awesome!
I found peace and loveliness in walking through Garden Centres and seeing the beautiful green, growing things and beautiful flowers. I meet a few people here who talk about plants and gardening, etc. and then at the end of my walk, I go to the Cafe" and get a specialty coffee, tea or lemonade, and take it home and just sit and sip. It's lovely. (sometimes read too) (when a lovely wind blows through the greenhouse, it's like some place in Heaven.) It's refreshing and cool, and the scent of flowers comes wafting through the whole area. Invigorating!!!!!
I have been clean off of Meth since October. My youngest son and I packed up our stuff and moved to Missouri. Two days after Christmas, moved in with my daughter and her boyfriend. And that's when I really started seeking God, everyday studying the word. Watching Joyce, and TD Jakes sermons. And God told me to be still and heal. And it was very difficult. Fist I wasn't sure if I was hearing him correctly. However I felt so much peace and It made sense that I take this time to let him in and let go, let him take over. And I have grown so much. Spirituality I know now I am exactly where I should be.
"Listen to mama" 💓 I love that woman! Lately I've been listening to Joyce daily, multiple sermons a day and pressing into God + His word more and I am so grateful for it! About to have a baby 🤱 and just relishing in these blessings. thank you! ✨
I decided to take mini stay-vacations for a month (3 days off - including a weekend). Just to rest. Relearning to get to the place of a real vacation. When you work all the time - you gotta rest too.
I just now understand this a mom of twins teenagers and feel like I am always on the go! After caring for them I took care of my grandmother till she passed! And I was so burned out! And to take time to care for my mental health best decision ever
I watched this today and felt a peace wash over me at the end. Over the last 2 years, the Holy Spirit has led me to show up differently in relationships. I lost many friends because I no longer needed their approval. Even family relationships have shifted dramatically. When you show up differently, those dynamics must change. Listening to all of these beautiful souls talk about their experiences was so very real. It was a message that I needed. I'm happy. I'm grateful. Praise God!
Thank God for weekly rest. He knew we would need it: work Sunday-Friday. Rest on the Sabbath (the 7th day). Not mere physical rest, but spiritual rest. God is good. 💕💕💕💕
I began to attend Church in person recently, and it's been good. Covid stopped that for awhile, but before that, I didn't have time to go to church, because I had "so much to do". 🤥
All my life u been pleasing everybody,now that I am on my 60's I say no to this people in this seniors place and they got so mad at me that the did witcraft to me and is been one and a half yr battering is war,because they're so controlling people,and it surprised me,that now that I want to take care of me,this people came against me 🕊️🙏🏼👑
'God called me to my '18 months of rest' in this pandemic. It really took that long to catch up and get my feet under me, fully surrender to God, practice self care and heal some physical things.
I love these podcasts, however; every issue that you have spoken of, I have had to deal with and pretty much been dealing with for the past 16 years. I am working on boundaries right now and having not even family around, and the very one that is draining is the one that keeps calling, so yes! O had to put my foot down, no longer there for whatever need and I finally caught on that I was not as relevant as I thought I was, but the habit of just calling and the need to know make people keep calling too. So for the first time in my 67 years I feel good about me a little bit more each day. I know my family loves me but they had to move on as well; something would be terribly wrong with me if I were to blame everyone else and not myself for allowing the events of my life to take such a turn. I am loving me again slowly, but surely in YAH'S MASTERFUL NAME. 💃🙌🙏💞😇🤗
I can be a people pleaser and I recently started standing my ground and yes, people will not like it. But, I had to learn that’s okay. I was called selfish a lot growing up but god knows your heart. Don’t let the narratives or negative thoughts rule over the truth. If people care about you truly, they won’t get offended or mad when you say no.
My daughter pays daycare 4 days a week even on her days off just so she can workout and have some alone time. I use to think that was wrong but now with my 3 little ones still at home,now I see it’s a way of self care 🙏🏼🥰
Boy do we all need to hear this time and time again..29 thinking like 40 with a body that feels like it's already in it's 80's overworking self, even doing the work of others trying to make up for. & find validation in killing self with work. Thank you ladies for this topic. We need to hear this over and over.
Yes nd yes indeed.v much blessd to listen to her teachings.nd her teachings changed my life soooo much.nd gave me peace I needed.🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🌟🌟🌟🌟🙋💐💐💐💐🌹🌹🌹🌹🌷🌷🌺🌸🌼🌟🌟🌟🍓🍇🎁🎁🎀🎀🎇🎆
I wish they talked more about young mothers it’s so overwhelming at times if it wasn’t for God I wouldn’t make some days but I thank Jesus for his love and help.
I agree - it's such a tough job and can be really lonely and frustrating. I hope you have a mom, motherinlaw or sisters nearby to support you. I am praying for you!
We're happy to hear that you enjoyed this episode! Check out this great 5-day online study at joycemeyer.org/AllThingsArePossible. We hope it is a blessing to you! -Team JMM
1 Timothy 2:12 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. So know your role and Shut your Mouth Joyce!!
Hi, Christus. I hope this message finds you well. You are loved by God. You are chosen and important. You matter. Please do not speak negatively towards someone. I hope you have a really incredible week.
Miss Joyce I’m 26 and I needed this a decade ago. I am so homered to experience you through Gods Glory you are a blessing to us all I love you and thank you so so much 🙏🏽😊
I can relate to ALL of this! I was married at 18 ,had 6 children one of them who was severely autistic(God healed him,thank You Jesus!) but I ALWAYS did everything myself when it came to the house and my babies..I believe that is why at the age of 51 I am suffering many things in my body (God is my healer!) but I literally abused my body by taking on everything myself and not asking for ,and sometimes allowing others to help. I believe it requires humility to do that..I just didn't realize it at the time. I was proud and thought I had to prove to the world I am a good wife and mother, but landed me where I am now ,hardly able to do anything for my husband ,children ,grandchildren,parents or sisters... because of physical limitations caused by the pain and conditions in my body. ..Needless to say I have had to learn the hard way to ask for and receive help..but boy was it hard. When I receive full manifestation of healing in my body,I will serve my husband,children and all I can..but this time I will also take care of myself and ask for and accept help if I need it and I will walk more humbly. Being a "supermom" or dad isn't worth your health ..we cannot serve the ONE we love the most ,if we gave it all away for reasons of pride, That is what I realize the most. I serve Him the best I can..I will be restored and serve my God and my family the right way this time. :)
Agree totally & am sailing in the same boat. But thank God, He allowed me to be unable to do many things - the only way for me to realize how wrong I was.
Self care is so important. I was a beauty therapist for 17 years and so many times women would come for facials but feel so guilty they were taking time for themselves for some time out.
As I listen to what you ladies are discussing it brings to mind in my job search. I watched webinars about my 'dream job'. My dream job is to have a job I am going to enjoy. Not any particular company etc. So my new job is totally different from what I did for 22 years. I am excited and nervous at the same time.
I thank God for this word!!! I am a young mom and I can TOTALLY relate to not doing ANYTHING for myself because of the guilt. It's been such a long time since I have had my hair done...I just always think... I can use that money for my kids or my husband. Thank you so much for this God sent message!
It is 19 July 2022 @ 03h47 Tuesday morning, meeting with my sisters in Christ. A am a 53 year "young" male and enjoy my meetings with my sisters 😁 God bless you all 🤗🌹❤️
I think it doesn’t matter if we are doing something or not doing, as long as what we are doing is what God wants us to do but not what we feel comfortable doing it. What Joyce said is right. Listen to Him
God show me what I need to do for me to handle this journey in front of me an keep the children in order bal the books clean an feed the elderly while rebuilding my daughter's life after amputation of leg my days of learning an blessing are for gods glory Love you joyce
I love an environment that is quiet , beautiful it helps me to connect with my maker. I also love to praise and worship God 24/7. I do it because it gives me peace of mind and helps me to be better.
Excellent advice and wise teaching. Very good, I love Joyce’s words in this . I definitely understand and relate and agree to this discussion. It’s so vital for us women to look after ourselves, in every season of our lives. If we don’t you do end up paying the consequences later in some way. I’m getting a back massage later today as a special self care treat, in a beautiful place under a mountain; it’s peaceful and quiet there which I need; I love nature and peace and quiet whenever I can get that. Well done ladies with doing this tutorial, excellent work. Ladies always try to do the little things for yourself throughout life whenever possible. Spending quiet time in the psalms is always really good too- jot down beautiful scriptures just for you to speak out over your life. It’s beautiful. God bless Joyce I so admire and respect her and she looks AMAZING!!!
THANK YOU for this…I literally have taken time off of my job so I can finally start choosing me because I’ve seen my mental health decline and this just confirms again to me that this is what I need to do….I feel like Jesus has been trying to get me to where I literally have to rest…I’ve never been forced out of my job so much lately but I finally made the choice and now I know why He wanted it…
Joyce I love you with all my heart... I pray you stay strong in the faith and true in the word of our Almighty God... let us pray for those who are turning in the way of the world and there lifestyles of world... please Joyce don't go their way on certain issues... it is sad that these some of Preachers are not standing in certain issues of the word of God and they are creeping in like thief in the night into the Churches
It is so good to obey the Lord in keeping the Sabbath holy and resting from work, Friday sundown to Saturday sundown❣️🥰💕🙏🏻💕Even rest on Sunday if you need more rest.
I'm actually on the other side of this topic... In 2009 I had a nervous break down and after losing my very stressful job, I went into a deep depression because I couldn't get "it" back, you know, the drive and stamina and need to be on the go go go. My self worth! I ended up seeing it as God's will, but I took it too far in the other direction and eventually went on disability. I didn't know anything about the devil's plan to destroy my life and for many years I couldn't get out of that mindset of being mentally disabled. It's only now after 12 years and ending up on disability that I have finally heard God, so desperate to not be in pain any more, to get to the root of my toxic thinking. Thank you so very much Joyce for Battlefield of the Mind. As much as it frightened me at the beginning of my walk back to Jesus, it has been the catalyst for getting my life back. Praise God and may He continue to bless you for many more years to come.
@Elbie's --Thanks for sharing your story. So glad you're doing much better and serving the Lord. Keep abiding in God and He will give you strength. God bless! 🙏
This is so eye-opening honestly! So awesome! Second time I hear it, God bless all you guys and everyone here who wrotr on the comments. Read your testimonies, and I oray in Jesus Name God restores your lives for so many of you cause of what you have gone through🙏🙏 Praying for each one of you! I also went through bein a people pleaser, thinking that what other people thought or say especially at Church that had to be done, and that I didn't care at all, only what leaders and other people said. And all because whne I was kid, many people including family and peers ignored me ot shut me up when I shared opinions or plans as if they didn't matter or were stupid, hence I felt that whatever I could give, say, or be didn't matter. So I abandoned myself for a long time, just beaing a follower of everyone and copying other people's behaviors, attitudes, acts.
Thank you for this because as a woman, I have always felt pressure to say yes. I have noticed that men say no more often but with less rejection and less consequences.
I relate a lot to Joyce. Our temperaments are very similar. I enjoy the variety of personalities and different places, and different ages represented here and brought together in these podcasts. It is a good thing from the Lord. I am 50 years old I have had 6 kids 4 are adults but 2 are still 11 and 9 years old. I feel alone due to the age contrast. I have never taken care of myself very well. I watched this particular podcast because I know I need to do more of that in different ways. Although I have watched Joyce for years and have been blessed in many different seasons by her words, experience , and wisdom I found a different kind of nurturing in this ministry I would normally just shy away from; and thank you all for that. I have always craved, begged, pursued and have even set many boundaries around my alone time with my Lord and Savior. I just want to be with Him and that gets complicated for me with the distractions of so many people. I get my energy from my alone time. I have found that if asked most if not all people would think of me as a extrovert, but I am not at all. I read somewhere that extroverts get their "energy" from being around other people and introverts get their energy from the quiet things and being alone. I realize we all can be both through out our lives depending on the season we are in. I just wanted to say on the whole I find peace when it is just me and God and I can think and ponder. I really get Joyce in this podcast but either way it overall speaks to us all. P.S. I got one month off from any kids about 2 years ago and I had to buy just food for me. I had no idea how to do that. I so relate to that segment ! and have tried to relate that exact feeling to my family members !
This is my kind of conversation!!!!!! I even here the wisdom from Joyce when she said I don’t have to feel guilty when I want to do something for myself. I have not been separated from my kids to do something just for me without feeling guilty. I needed this!!!!
I love your book on how to age gracefully Ms. Meyer. Thank you so much for your gifts, for your anointing from the Lord, for your spirit of sharing, in the many tremendous ways that the Lord is working through you to help others. Your hard earned wisdom is refreshing and is a life-giving and clearly is a blessing to us all, from the Lord. Thank You and Bless You!
I am enjoying this video with "the girls" and their experiences. I have been reading in Joyce's book, "Be Joyful" and when I came upon page 179 I found what I was looking for. Joyce says that "Experience has taught her often that she has to treat others well for a long time before they begin to treat her the same way". (perseverance) I have just had a breakthrough in this area, but it seemed like things were taking an awful long time............I was suffering..........and during that persevering time, I learned how to truly forgive others, and that's when I began to take the lovely soaking baths, and relaxing walks, and quiet times, and have a yummy treat, and even ask God to bless "me". I love taking care of me now, and it makes a ton of things in life easier. Bless you all.
Hi, Joyce. Thank you for all that you do. I hope this message finds all of you reading this well. How do I get to the bottom of finding out why I feel guilty for doing something for myself? I’m a wife and blessed mom of 5 beautiful, healthy kids.
I love it when I'm over the hurdles ,challenges of my life when my vision is running smooth I'd like very much to be part of the ministry ,a talk it out show like this.
I definitely needed to watch this I’ve been having a hard time taking care of myself because I’m so use to helping others and not asking for help, I’ve been dealing with a lot of anxiety and depression I’ve lost weight my hair is shedding, having Gut issues, and etc so my doctors put me on Medical leave from work. As much I wanted this to happen overnight I know it’s going to take time for me to get balanced there are lot of things I am trying to figure out. I’m happy I saw this video. Thank you ladies
This video makes me 😢. I am a single mother of one. For the last couple years I thought it wasn’t okay to want to look nice. I have gain so much weight it hurts to walk. Being a dwarfs my limbs are shorter than others. I understand not to make an idol out of it. Now I know it’s oky to take care of myself
I stopped watching TV long ago, during the pandemic I stopped watching all fake news media, anything negative. My mental health and my soul is much at peace. I won't let fear to affect my life. I'm enjoying life as Joyce would always say 😊
This time of lockdown give us all the opportunity to slow down from our daily stressful life and really rest. Thanks for the talk ladies, really good. God bless you all.
Thank you for remembering the caregivers. I am a caregiver for my mother who's 91 and so.etimes I feel the exact same way as feel as though I've lost me and what i like. Thank you so much God bless!
Thank you I know this feeling xxx menopause is really sad it’s taking alot out of me I know it’s from deeper roots 😢 I’m dealing with this it’s overwhelming and I can’t do things I used to do I’m 44 this is just the tip of the iceberg xx I noticed I have been trying to do to much and not eating right not I have kids and it’s hard to even get things done now I’m just relying on God and trust in him to get me threw it all Thank you Joyce you have helped me so much on time all the time Amen 🙏🏽 🎁🙌🏽💐🍯
My previous comment was not a judgement, just curious. ❤ THANK YOU all so much for this topic discussion. I can totally relate to feeling guilty about stopping to sit in silence and listen to God. Guilt-free self care has been so challenging in my adult life, still at 56.
Thank you ladies for a great chat, talking through a balanced, healthy, lifestyle, and also I would just like to say to Erin how much of a beautiful soul she is, you all are but really felt the need to say this to Erin,and how fab it been witnessing you grow in the Lord, love you all,
Thank you for a beautiful Podcast, a one that hit the nail on the head! We care about others and tend to neglect ourselves, well I do that! God Bless and love from South Africa!
1. My phone usage!!!! 2. Worrying and thinking about others 3. Other people are not my responsibility it's not wrong to protect myself and I need to set more boundaries on critical people who make me feel like a burden 4. Having a false sense of a responsibility and to take care of myself as a form of leadership 5. I don't have to be the one to care for others and sacrifice myself for others when another person can do it and better 6. I just can't do it all and I won't do it all 7. My identity is not in my family
Awhile back I got off social media and stop watching TV. Life changing! I recommend it. Lol
Amen to this! I stopped watching tv 7 years ago and haven’t had a single regret! 👌🤣
I'm currently working on this. Taking time off social media. And last week, when I was off, I thought to myself that I want to live all my life without social media except obviously TH-cam for sermons and so! It's worth it!

Thank you for your Transparency , I have experienced this 30 yrs ago
Take it one day at a time celebrate small victories
I feel the same way
God take away your stress.
Kids are more fun when they are young so pray for your kids future as an adult. It does help to prophesy their future.
I appreciate Talk it Out so much. It helps to hear my girlfriends struggle with the same things I do. And how God’s helping us do it His better way.
If people would stop watching so much TV and spending too much time on their phones and social media, I guarantee it you will feel better!
Replace it with time with God.
Good Comment
At almost 35 years old, I am learning that my rest and setting boundaries are so important!
This is something I needed! Please pray that I get help in taking care of my disable husband!

I serve Him the best I can..I will be restored and serve my God and my family the right way this time. :)
Agree totally & am sailing in the same boat. But thank God, He allowed me to be unable to do many things - the only way for me to realize how wrong I was.
Me too. 💝🙏💝
This is so timely for me. It’s confirming for me what God has shown me. Praise Jesus.
This was so good. Like a drink of fresh cold water after being lost in the desert.
Self care is so important. I was a beauty therapist for 17 years and so many times women would come for facials but feel so guilty they were taking time for themselves for some time out.
As I listen to what you ladies are discussing it brings to mind in my job search. I watched webinars about my 'dream job'. My dream job is to have a job I am going to enjoy. Not any particular company etc. So my new job is totally different from what I did for 22 years. I am excited and nervous at the same time.
And Jai...you amazingly glowed in this one.
Love you Joyce 🤗!!!
I thank God for this word!!! I am a young mom and I can TOTALLY relate to not doing ANYTHING for myself because of the guilt. It's been such a long time since I have had my hair done...I just always think... I can use that money for my kids or my husband. Thank you so much for this God sent message!
🙏❤💐 I feel you sister in Christ! Same here 😭👭. We have rest in the Lord 🍃🤍 SELAH
Thank God for Joyce Meyer
And her Ministry.
She's a blessing.🙏❤🙌
It is 19 July 2022 @ 03h47 Tuesday morning, meeting with my sisters in Christ. A am a 53 year "young" male and enjoy my meetings with my sisters 😁 God bless you all 🤗🌹❤️
I think it doesn’t matter if we are doing something or not doing, as long as what we are doing is what God wants us to do but not what we feel comfortable doing it. What Joyce said is right. Listen to Him
God show me what I need to do for me to handle this journey in front of me an keep the children in order bal the books clean an feed the elderly while rebuilding my daughter's life after amputation of leg my days of learning an blessing are for gods glory Love you joyce
I love an environment that is quiet , beautiful it helps me to connect with my maker. I also love to praise and worship God 24/7. I do it because it gives me peace of mind and helps me to be better.
Excellent advice and wise teaching. Very good, I love Joyce’s words in this . I definitely understand and relate and agree to this discussion.
It’s so vital for us women to look after ourselves, in every season of our lives. If we don’t you do end up paying the consequences later in some way.
I’m getting a back massage later today as a special self care treat, in a beautiful place under a mountain; it’s peaceful and quiet there which I need; I love nature and peace and quiet whenever I can get that.
Well done ladies with doing this tutorial, excellent work.
Ladies always try to do the little things for yourself throughout life whenever possible.
Spending quiet time in the psalms is always really good too- jot down beautiful scriptures just for you to speak out over your life. It’s beautiful.
God bless Joyce I so admire and respect her and she looks AMAZING!!!
Blessings to you for taking care of yourself today and forever love you 😊
This is just what I needed to hear today. Thank you!
same here!!!
Amen, Me Too! 😊 Thank You ladies. 😘
THANK YOU for this…I literally have taken time off of my job so I can finally start choosing me because I’ve seen my mental health decline and this just confirms again to me that this is what I need to do….I feel like Jesus has been trying to get me to where I literally have to rest…I’ve never been forced out of my job so much lately but I finally made the choice and now I know why He wanted it…
I Love your preaching Pastor Joyce,always on point and spirit filled,we celebrate you, God bless you
I absolutely....LOVE Joyce's knowledge and advice!!!
Many thanks to all...of you girls, as well!!!
May God bless!!!
✝️🙏✝️🙏✝️
All of those young folks need to listen to joyce!! She is the truth!
Joyce I love you with all my heart... I pray you stay strong in the faith and true in the word of our Almighty God... let us pray for those who are turning in the way of the world and there lifestyles of world... please Joyce don't go their way on certain issues... it is sad that these some of Preachers are not standing in certain issues of the word of God and they are creeping in like thief in the night into the Churches
Love the Lord thy God with all of your heart, all your soul, all your mind and all your strength. (Mark 12:30).
Exactly who will we stand for man or God watch voddie defending the faith if you like too wont let me send it John 15:19
This came right on time. So many times we don't take care of ourselves but help everyone else.
We're so glad to hear that this episode blessed you! 😊🤗 -Team JMM
It is so good to obey the Lord in keeping the Sabbath holy and resting from work, Friday sundown to Saturday sundown❣️🥰💕🙏🏻💕Even rest on Sunday if you need more rest.
Hahaha😂 love you my sister Joyce I agree 100 percent on the quiet time.....may God bless all of you this was awesome🙏
Mama Joyce hit it on the nose! Yes ma’am! I will take care of myself
This is exactly what I needed
I'm actually on the other side of this topic... In 2009 I had a nervous break down and after losing my very stressful job, I went into a deep depression because I couldn't get "it" back, you know, the drive and stamina and need to be on the go go go. My self worth! I ended up seeing it as God's will, but I took it too far in the other direction and eventually went on disability. I didn't know anything about the devil's plan to destroy my life and for many years I couldn't get out of that mindset of being mentally disabled. It's only now after 12 years and ending up on disability that I have finally heard God, so desperate to not be in pain any more, to get to the root of my toxic thinking. Thank you so very much Joyce for Battlefield of the Mind. As much as it frightened me at the beginning of my walk back to Jesus, it has been the catalyst for getting my life back. Praise God and may He continue to bless you for many more years to come.
@Elbie's --Thanks for sharing your story. So glad you're doing much better and serving the Lord. Keep abiding in God and He will give you strength.
God bless! 🙏
Thank you so much Carolyn. God bless you!
My story very similar. I was glad to not return to work.
This is so eye-opening honestly! So awesome! Second time I hear it, God bless all you guys and everyone here who wrotr on the comments. Read your testimonies, and I oray in Jesus Name God restores your lives for so many of you cause of what you have gone through🙏🙏 Praying for each one of you! I also went through bein a people pleaser, thinking that what other people thought or say especially at Church that had to be done, and that I didn't care at all, only what leaders and other people said. And all because whne I was kid, many people including family and peers ignored me ot shut me up when I shared opinions or plans as if they didn't matter or were stupid, hence I felt that whatever I could give, say, or be didn't matter. So I abandoned myself for a long time, just beaing a follower of everyone and copying other people's behaviors, attitudes, acts.
Thank you for this because as a woman, I have always felt pressure to say yes.
I have noticed that men say no more often but with less rejection and less consequences.
It's not always so easy when finances are restricted, however God is always faithful.
I relate a lot to Joyce. Our temperaments are very similar. I enjoy the variety of personalities and different places, and different ages represented here and brought together in these podcasts. It is a good thing from the Lord. I am 50 years old I have had 6 kids 4 are adults but 2 are still 11 and 9 years old. I feel alone due to the age contrast. I have never taken care of myself very well. I watched this particular podcast because I know I need to do more of that in different ways. Although I have watched Joyce for years and have been blessed in many different seasons by her words, experience , and wisdom I found a different kind of nurturing in this ministry I would normally just shy away from; and thank you all for that. I have always craved, begged, pursued and have even set many boundaries around my alone time with my Lord and Savior. I just want to be with Him and that gets complicated for me with the distractions of so many people. I get my energy from my alone time. I have found that if asked most if not all people would think of me as a extrovert, but I am not at all. I read somewhere that extroverts get their "energy" from being around other people and introverts get their energy from the quiet things and being alone. I realize we all can be both through out our lives depending on the season we are in. I just wanted to say on the whole I find peace when it is just me and God and I can think and ponder. I really get Joyce in this podcast but either way it overall speaks to us all. P.S. I got one month off from any kids about 2 years ago and I had to buy just food for me. I had no idea how to do that. I so relate to that segment ! and have tried to relate that exact feeling to my family members !
My idol my inspiration ❤️ Joyce how I luv and am grateful for you
This is my kind of conversation!!!!!! I even here the wisdom from Joyce when she said I don’t have to feel guilty when I want to do something for myself. I have not been separated from my kids to do something just for me without feeling guilty. I needed this!!!!
Hi ladies talk it out podcast.I'm looking forward to this show.I get spiritually fed.Blessings to all these ladies.
Ginger you’re such a riot. You’re great! You’re all amazing!
I love your book on how to age gracefully Ms. Meyer.
Thank you so much for your gifts, for your anointing from the Lord, for your spirit of sharing, in the many tremendous ways that the Lord is working through you to help others. Your hard earned wisdom is refreshing and is a life-giving and clearly is a blessing to us all, from the Lord.
Thank You and Bless You!
I am enjoying this video with "the girls" and their experiences. I have been reading in Joyce's book, "Be Joyful" and when I came upon page 179 I found what I was looking for. Joyce says that "Experience has taught her often that she has to treat others well for a long time before they begin to treat her the same way". (perseverance) I have just had a breakthrough in this area, but it seemed like things were taking an awful long time............I was suffering..........and during that persevering time, I learned how to truly forgive others, and that's when I began to take the lovely soaking baths, and relaxing walks, and quiet times, and have a yummy treat, and even ask God to bless "me". I love taking care of me now, and it makes a ton of things in life easier. Bless you all.
Am sure so many women need too hear this so do Important Thank you Joyce love you
Hi, Joyce. Thank you for all that you do. I hope this message finds all of you reading this well. How do I get to the bottom of finding out why I feel guilty for doing something for myself? I’m a wife and blessed mom of 5 beautiful, healthy kids.
I love it when I'm over the hurdles ,challenges of my life when my vision is running smooth I'd like very much to be part of the ministry ,a talk it out show like this.
I definitely needed to watch this I’ve been having a hard time taking care of myself because I’m so use to helping others and not asking for help, I’ve been dealing with a lot of anxiety and depression I’ve lost weight my hair is shedding, having Gut issues, and etc so my doctors put me on Medical leave from work. As much I wanted this to happen overnight I know it’s going to take time for me to get balanced there are lot of things I am trying to figure out. I’m happy I saw this video. Thank you ladies
This video makes me 😢. I am a single mother of one. For the last couple years I thought it wasn’t okay to want to look nice. I have gain so much weight it hurts to walk. Being a dwarfs my limbs are shorter than others. I understand not to make an idol out of it. Now I know it’s oky to take care of myself
I stopped watching TV long ago, during the pandemic I stopped watching all fake news media, anything negative. My mental health and my soul is much at peace. I won't let fear to affect my life. I'm enjoying life as Joyce would always say 😊
This time of lockdown give us all the opportunity to slow down from our daily stressful life and really rest. Thanks for the talk ladies, really good. God bless you all.
God bless you as well! -Team JMM
Thank you ladies, women should come together and talk about things that we all experience, with that support each other. God loves and blesses us !
Self love. Loving yourself your own existence in the universe🌌🌌🌌.
Thank you for remembering the caregivers. I am a caregiver for my mother who's 91 and so.etimes I feel the exact same way as feel as though I've lost me and what i like. Thank you so much God bless!
I love this ministry so much! Thank you for this podcast and all you do. It has helped me through so much.
So true. God help us. Blessings to all.
Yes learning to rest when I’m tired
Rest when you need to rest! ❤️
Thank you I know this feeling xxx menopause is really sad it’s taking alot out of me I know it’s from deeper roots 😢 I’m dealing with this it’s overwhelming and I can’t do things I used to do I’m 44 this is just the tip of the iceberg xx I noticed I have been trying to do to much and not eating right not I have kids and it’s hard to even get things done now I’m just relying on God and trust in him to get me threw it all Thank you Joyce you have helped me so much on time all the time Amen 🙏🏽 🎁🙌🏽💐🍯
Yes! I had to tell myself today that my worth doesn't come from the amount of things I complete. My worth comes from Jesus.
My previous comment was not a judgement, just curious. ❤
THANK YOU all so much for this topic discussion. I can totally relate to feeling guilty about stopping to sit in silence and listen to God. Guilt-free self care has been so challenging in my adult life, still at 56.
I look forward to this show.I love you all.I feel like I'm there with you having fellowship.
Love love love Jay’s haircut. She looks so great & so young!!!♥️♥️
Joyce I hear you. I like my peace n quiet. I cherish those times. Thumbs up. My ME time is so special and rejuvenating.
Thank you ladies for a great chat, talking through a balanced, healthy, lifestyle, and also I would just like to say to Erin how much of a beautiful soul she is, you all are but really felt the need to say this to Erin,and how fab it been witnessing you grow in the Lord, love you all,
I definitely agree.. thank you Praise the Lord
I am learning so much with your discussion and topics especially watching n listening to Joyce sermons. Thank you so much and god bless us all🙏🙏🙏
Glory to God for these messages. Ladies, thank you for sharing.
Thank you for all you do. I've followed your ministry for years! GOD BLESS YOU 🥰🙏
Just wonderful and right on time!
Thank you for a beautiful Podcast, a one that hit the nail on the head! We care about others and tend to neglect ourselves, well I do that! God Bless and love from South Africa!
Please Pray that God can get through to my husband and restore our marriage and family for he is lost and really needs to choose God.
I am dealing with the same thing everyday. It's like Spiritual Warfare in my house daily. Prayers 🙏♥️
Thank you very much ladies for discussing this topic. It helped me.
Thanks for the great podcast. It ministered greatly to me.
1. My phone usage!!!!
2. Worrying and thinking about others
3. Other people are not my responsibility it's not wrong to protect myself and I need to set more boundaries on critical people who make me feel like a burden
4. Having a false sense of a responsibility and to take care of myself as a form of leadership
5. I don't have to be the one to care for others and sacrifice myself for others when another person can do it and better
6. I just can't do it all and I won't do it all
7. My identity is not in my family
I love you Ginger, Joyce and Jai my Favs . . . . .🤗🤗🤗🥳🥳🥳🥳
