Hey friends, welcome to Girls Night. I'm Stephanie May Wilson and I am so happy that you're

here. Each week I have a girlfriend over and we talk through one of the biggest questions

we have about our lives as women. We're talking about friendships and faith and relationships

and self-confidence about our calling in life and how to live every bit of our lives to

the absolute full. Life is so much better and easier and absolutely more fun when we navigate

together as girlfriends and I cannot wait to get started.

Hey friends, I'm so excited about today's episode because if you're anything like me,

you are no stranger to the feeling of guilt. Now sometimes it's over something real. You

said something you should not or you meant to do something and you didn't. Guilt is a

totally normal reaction in situations like that. But again, if you're anything like me,

guilt tends to spell out of those circumstances and into all kinds of corners of your life, beating

you up as you feel like you're somehow too much and not enough all at the very same time.

Often I feel the most guilt when I do something I actually know is right. Something like

setting boundaries or saying an important no or speaking up for myself. And that feeling

of guilt tends to keep me up at night. Well that's why I'm so excited about today's

episode. Today we're talking to my new friend Valerie Burton and I am telling you right

now you are going to love her. Valerie is a national best-selling author of 13 books,

an international speaker and a life strategist. Her latest book is called Let Go of the Guilt

and so she is absolutely our go-to person for this topic. Valerie is going to help us

learn to decode our guilt. How to know when our guilt is pointing us to something we need

to fix or apologize for. But also how to know when we're experiencing false guilt. Beating

ourselves up when we absolutely did not do anything wrong. And here's my favorite part.
