The One Person Most Women Forget to Be Loyal To...
Were you taught to be loyal to everyone except yourself?Many of us learned to be loyal to our families, friends, communities, churches, organizations, cultures, and causes. But I don’t remember anyone teaching me what it meant to be loyal to myself.So what does self-loyalty actually look like?In this episode of Deciding to Soar: Living Life Your Own Way, I share four practices I’ve learned through mistakes, pain, healing, faith, and triumph:• Trust the truth of who you are.• Recognize that being loyal to yourself requires risk.• Choose relationships over rivalries.• Be guided and governed by God.Self-loyalty isn’t selfishness. It is honoring who you are without consistently betraying yourself, abandoning your gifts, or shrinking your divine design to satisfy everyone else.And sometimes the most courageous question we can ask is:Where am I asking other people to be loyal to me while I am still learning how to be loyal to myself?👇 COMMENT: What does being loyal to yourself mean to you?👉 SUBSCRIBE: Subscribe to Deciding to Soar for more conversations about living life your own way.👉 JOIN: Join the newsletter for deeper reflections, encouragement, and resources to help you continue soaring.👉 SHARE: Send this episode to someone who gives loyalty freely to everyone else and may need the reminder that they deserve their own loyalty too.Be loyal to yourself.

Don’t Expect People to Stand By You When...
“A real friend would have stayed.”Maybe.But before we accuse someone of being disloyal, there is another question worth asking: What were we asking them to stand beside?Sometimes people don’t leave because we are struggling. Sometimes staying requires them to participate in behaviors, environments, or patterns they can no longer support.In this episode of Deciding to Soar: Living Life Your Own Way, I explore the complicated intersection of friendship, loyalty, accountability, boundaries, and personal agency.I invite people to consider the following questions?What happens when supporting a friend begins to require compromising your integrity?When does listening become an endless cycle of complaints without responsibility?When does helping repeatedly become enabling?What happens when disrespect becomes normalized or a relationship no longer has enough room for both people to grow?This conversation is not an argument for abandoning people during difficult seasons. Friendship needs grace, patience, compassion, and room for human imperfection. But healthy relationships also need honesty, reciprocity, accountability, safety, relational ethics, and choice.You’ll be invited to consider the relationships in your own life from both sides: not only who has failed to show up for you, but also how you are asking other people to show up for you.Because relationship longevity does not always equal relationship health.History does not automatically entitle someone to permanent access.And loyalty can become a leash when history keeps us connected to relationships we would never choose today.Listen with an open mind and perhaps a mirror nearby.🎧 Listen to the full conversation.💬 You can also join me in the comments on YouTube: Where do you believe loyalty ends and complicity begins?👉If this episode gives you language for something you have experienced, share it with someone who may need this conversation.✨Subscribe to Deciding to Soar: Living Life Your Own Way for conversations about relationships, transitions, leadership, healing, personal agency, and having the courage to live life on your own terms.Reflection: Where does loyalty end and complicity begin in your relationships?Want more from SharRon and The Jamison Group?📖 WORDS OF WISDOM: SharRon’s Latest Book, Deciding To Soar 2 Higher, Unwrapping Your Purpose. https://www.amazon.com/Sharron-Jamison/e/B00JE8L0Q2s📩 SPEAKING and Coaching: https://sharronjamison.com/contact/🧠 MINDSET: FREE training By SharRon: Belonging To Me: Living Free From Fear https://sharronjamison.com/belong-podcast/💜 HEART: Self-Led Training: You Can Depend On You: Making Your Own Rules: https://www.youcandependonyou.com/waitlist📰 WEEKLY WISDOM: Subscribe to SharRon’s weekly newsletter: https://sharronjamison.com/newsletter/<span style="background-colo

When Your Life Needs All of You: Even Good News Has to Wait
We often think boundaries are ONLY necessary when something is negative, toxic, or unhealthy. But what happens when the news is good, the invitation is thoughtful, the person means well, and you simply don't have the capacity to receive, give, or attend one more thing?In this episode of Deciding to Soar: Living Life Your Own Way, I explore the emotional, mental, and spiritual weight of information and invitations AND why protecting your capacity during critical seasons of life is not selfish. It is great stewardship.In this episode, we explore how:Information Has Weight. Even good news, advice, invitations, and life updates require emotional and mental energy. Sometimes the issue isn't the content. It's capacity.One Request Becomes Part of an Accumulation, Someone may think, “It's only one phone call,” without realizing you may be receiving ten other requests for your time, attention, wisdom, and emotional presence. They experience their one request. You experience the accumulation.Some Seasons Require You to Withdraw. Retirement, reinvention, relationships, relocation, illness, grief, and other major decisions may require you to temporarily step back so you can hear yourself, discern what you need, and give your life your undivided attention.Protecting Your Capacity Is Stewardship. Your emotional, spiritual, mental, and physical resources are finite. "You cannot borrow tomorrow's energy to satisfy today's expectations."You Don't Have to Prove Your Need for a Boundary, You don't owe anyone your private story, your wounds, or an explanation before you're allowed to say no, not now, or I don't have capacity. Sometimes maintaining a boundary requires the spiritual courage to be misunderstood.Find Another Witness. We all deserve to be seen, heard, affirmed, and celebrated. But our need to be witnessed does not obligate one particular person to be our witness. When someone doesn't have capacity for us, emotional maturity allows us to honor their boundary and find another person who does.This conversation is for anyone navigating a season that requires more attention, discernment, or energy than other people may realize. It is also an invitation to extend compassion when someone else's boundary disappoints us.Remember ... Looking well doesn't mean someone isn't carrying something difficult.Before you finish this episode, I invite you to ask yourself: What does my life need from me right now? And: What might I need to temporarily let go of so I can give more of myself to myself?This week....• Do a capacity inventory. Notice what currently has access to your mind, heart, ears, time, and energy, and give yourself permission to make one adjustment.• Share this episode with someone who may need permission to protect their capacity without guilt or explanation.• Follow Deciding to Soar: Living Life Your Own Way on your favorite podcast platform so you don't miss our next conversation.• Join me on YouTube to continue the conversation, ask questions, and share what this season is teaching you.• Subscribe to my newsletter for deeper reflections, practical wisdom, and additional conversations about navigating the seasons of life that ask more of us.Never forget that sometimes your life needs all of you. And when it does, give yourself permission to give your FULL self to YOURSELF!Blessings!Want more from SharRon and The Jamison Group?📖 WORDS OF WISDOM: SharRon’s Latest Book, Deciding To Soar 2 Higher, Unwrapping Your Purpose. https://www.amazon.com/Sharron-Jamison/e/B00JE8L0Q2s📩 <strong style="background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.05); color: r

Not All Advice Is Good Advice: Why You Should Be Careful About Who Speaks Into Your Life
Have you ever received advice that sounded wise but didn't fit the life you were actually living?In this episode, I unpack an African proverb that has shaped the way I choose mentors, advisors, and trusted voices: "You see based on where you sit."Every one of us experiences the world through different "seats"—our race, age, faith, gender, responsibilities, life experiences, opportunities, and challenges. Those seats influence not only how we see the world but also the kind of wisdom we need.Together we'll explore why good advice isn't universal, how to recognize when advice is incomplete, and why surrounding yourself with informed people—not identical people—can transform the way you make decisions.If you've ever left a conversation feeling misunderstood, minimized, or discouraged, this episode will help you become more intentional about who you allow to shape your thinking.Because you deserve advice that honors your personhood, your purpose, and the realities you navigate every day.In This Episode• Why not all advice is good advice• Understanding the "seats" that shape perspective• Five questions to ask before accepting advice• Why informed advisors matter more than impressive advisors• Building a table of trusted voicesIf this episode resonates with you, please:⭐ Follow the podcast so you never miss an episode.📝 Leave a rating or review.

The Job Everyone Thought Was Beneath Me...Set Me Free
Years ago, after earning my MBA and building a successful corporate career, I made a decision that confused almost everyone around me.I became an aerobics instructor.People questioned the choice because they evaluated it through the lens of status, prestige, and professional success.

The 5 People You Need in Your Circle Before a Big Decision
Who's really in your circle?Years ago, I heard a phrase I've never forgotten: it's not about the competence you don't have — it's about the company you keep.That statement is so true because none of us becomes our best selves on our own.In this unscripted, unedited episode, I share the 5 types of people we all need around us before making a major life decision — retirement, marriage, divorce, a move, a new career, a whole new chapter. You might find all five in one person, or you might need five different people. Either way, it's time to take an honest inventory of your circle.The 5 people — and the gift each one gives you:• The Intellect → CLARITY• The Insight → PERSPECTIVE• The Imagination → POSSIBILITY• The Intuition → DISCERNMENT• The Intermediary → CONNECTIONMy hope is that your life looks like a garden of possibility — not "gutter living," where we shrink ourselves to fit our circumstances. Your future does not have to be a continuation of your past.If this episode spoke to you, please share it and subscribe.

Don't Let Their NO Override What You KNOW
How many times have you been told to wait?Wait until you have more experience. Wait until the timing is right. Wait until you're ready.In this unscripted, unedited episode, I share a truth that changed my life: sometimes "wait" is wisdom — but sometimes "wait" is just a socially acceptable way to say no. And I never want their N-O to override what you K-N-O-W.When no gym would hire me in the 1990s because I didn't fit their image of what "fit" looked like, I stopped asking for permission and asked a better question: Where can I serve? That one shift took me from rejection to Good Morning America.If you KNOW you've been called to something, this is your permission to begin. I'll walk you through the 4 C's that moved me forward when others told me to wait:• Conviction — the calling you can't shake• Courage — clarity comes in the moving• Creativity — when one door closes, build another• Community — support follows movementSo.....Write the book. Start the business. Begin again. You don't need their approval — you need your own conviction.👉If this episode met you right where you are, here's how we stay connected:👉Follow Deciding to Soar so every new episode comes straight to you — no waiting required.👉Leave a rating and a review. It's one of the simplest ways to help another woman who's been told to wait find this message when she needs it.👉 Join my weekly newsletter and step into The Reclamation Circle at www.SharRonJamison.com — for those who are done waiting and ready to begin.👉And share this episode with one person who needs permission to start.Don't let their NO override what you KNOW because the best is yet to come.#DecidingToSoar #LivingLifeYourOwnWay #SharronJamieson #PersonalGrowth #Waiting #GodsGuidance #InnerKnow #FollowYourDreams #Conviction #Courage #Clarity #Creativity #EmbraceDiversity #ServingCommunity #TakeAction #NoPermissionNeeded #UnconventionalPath #ReclamationCircle #TrustYourJourney #Empowerment #CreateImpact #BelieveInYourself #MindsetShift #BreakBarriers #EngageYourAudienceWant more from SharRon and The Jamison Group?📖 WORDS OF WISDOM: SharRon’s Latest Book, Deciding To Soar 2 Higher, Unwrapping Your Purpose. https://www.amazon.com/Sharron-Jamison/e/B00JE8L0Q2s📩 SPEAKING and Coaching: https://sharronjamison.com/contact/🧠 MINDSET: FREE training By SharRon: Belonging To Me: Living Free From Fear https://www.soarwithsharron.com/belong-podcast💜 HEART: Self-Led Training: You Can Depend On You: Making Your Own Rules: https://www.youcandependonyou.com/waitlist📰 WEEKLY WISDOM: Subscribe to SharRon’s weekly newsletter: https://www.soarwithsharron.com/newsletter<span
