The Silent Saboteur of Your Progress
Messy Can't Stop Her
11/14/24 • 7 min
Do you often find yourself asking, “What will people think?” when facing challenges or making decisions? From social science and scripture, we explore how this fear of judgment and need for approval can limit our ambitions, silence our authenticity, and create unnecessary stress in our lives. Learn how to break free from people-pleasing and live fulfilled even in the trenches of life. If you often hesitate, restricted and held back by the fear of other people’s opinions, this episode is for you.
Nuggets of wisdom in this episode
The prison of other people’s opinions can sentence us to self-silence, compromised decisions, and restricted growth
The mental and emotional toll of worrying about others’ opinions can make us physically and psychologically sick
People are usually more focused on their own struggles than on our lives; we all have our own individual messes
Grounding our worth in God’s purpose not on human approval, will give us peace, confidence and fulfillment
Key Scriptures: Proverbs 29:25, Galatians 1:10 and Romans 8:1

Reflecting on a quote from Brene Brown’s Atlas of the Heart by George Saunders about “failures of kindness”, Judith Kambia Obatusa (JKO) highlights how fear often holds us back from being kind. She explores the courage it takes to show compassion, both to others and ourselves.
Through Scripture and prayer, JKO encourages listeners to seek boldness, trust in God’s strength, and act with kindness even in difficult situations. This episode also includes a special prayer from Psalms 118:8-9 that you can repeat by yourself to help you connect directly to God for courage and strength.
Key scriptures: 2 Corinthians 3:5, Psalm 27:1, Philippians 4:13, Psalm 118:8-9.
Nuggets of wisdom in this episode
Fear can prevent us from helping when witnessing unkindness
We need courage to overcome the struggle to show kindness, especially when it feels risky or uncomfortable
When we show kindness we become conduits of God's love
We can overcome the fear to act, by praying for courage
