Summary

What if the life you’re chasing is costing you the life you’re living right now? In this conversation with Priscilla Shirer, I experienced something rare. This wasn’t just a discussion about success or productivity. It was a masterclass in rhythm, presence, and faith. From the moment we started, I could feel the depth of her wisdom and the peace she operates with. And trust me, it challenged me. Because like many of you, I’ve spent years chasing momentum, saying yes, and filling every gap in my calendar. What Priscilla shared flipped that thinking on its head. She broke down the power of saying no in a way I’ve never heard before. Not as rejection, but as alignment. Every no creates space for the right yes. She talked about how saying yes out of guilt or fear always leads to regret, and how protecting your time is actually a way of honoring your priorities. What really hit me was her perspective that when we refuse to step back, we might be blocking someone else’s opportunity to step forward. That level of humility and awareness is rare, and it made me reflect on how I’ve been showing up in my own life. We also went deep on something I think everyone struggles with, trusting God in the middle of uncertainty. Not just saying it, but actually living it. Priscilla made it simple and powerful. Do your part fully, and release the outcome. Stop trying to do God’s job. That idea of creating margin in your life, real space to breathe, think, connect, and even be interrupted, was one of the most impactful parts of this entire conversation. She made me realize that a packed calendar isn’t a badge of honor. It’s often a barrier to the very life we’re trying to build. One of the most emotional moments we shared was around the idea of delaying your life. Waiting for the perfect moment, the perfect conditions, the “someday” that may never come. Priscilla shared how easy it is to miss the treasures in the season you’re currently in because you’re so focused on the next one. That hit me hard. Because the truth is, this is the moment. This is your life. Not someday. Not later. Right now. This episode is about priorities, faith, family, and learning to live with intention. It’s about choosing presence over pressure and purpose over popularity. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or disconnected from what really matters, this conversation is going to bring you back to center in a powerful way. Key Takeaways: Why saying no is one of the most powerful tools for protecting your purpose How margin creates space for peace, creativity, and meaningful connection The danger of chasing momentum at the expense of your priorities What it really looks like to trust God with your life and outcomes Why the season you’re in right now holds the keys to your future How intentional living shapes your family, your faith, and your legacy 👉 SUBSCRIBE TO ED'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL NOW 👈⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   → → → CONNECT WITH ED MYLETT ON SOCIAL MEDIA: ← ← ←  ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠INSTAGRAM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   ➡️⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FACEBOOK⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LINKEDIN⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  ➡️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WEBSITE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Learn more about your ad choices.

hears you. Okay. Let's start in the very beginning. What's it like to be you? And I'm in it from this

way. Let me tell you the way that I mean it. You're busy. And so people listening this may not relate

1:39.8

to being in movies or writing books or having ministry work or all that stuff. But they do relate to being busy. So you're a mother, you're a wife, you've got all these different business ventures that you do, yet you show up with really present energy every time that I've met you and I'm with you including today. I'm wondering how you do that. If you have any strategies you use or anything like that, you'd share with busy people.

2:17.6

Well, who's not busy? You know what I mean? We kind of live in a culture that creates a vortex of busyness. Right. That if you're not intentional, it will consume you. So it's something I'm not perfect at for sure. It's kind of like we're growing and ebbing and flowing and maturing in this our whole lives. But man, I've had to learn how to just say good, solid nose. And I mean, honestly, there are more nos than yeses.

2:26.4

But the nose, every no, creates an opportunity for a yes. I realized a long time ago that if I say

yes to something out of guilt, because maybe

2:35.4

they've asked four times before and I haven't been able to do it, or yes, out of fear of missing

out, it's an opportunity. Every time I said yes, for those reasons, I regretted it. Because I'd get
