How Your Boundaries Can Lead to Blessings with Sara Hagerty

Welcome to the show today! I am so happy you are here. We are in our “Living Well” series talking about all aspects of living well, and staying emotionally and spiritually healthy, no matter what craziness the world serves up.
Today Sarah Hagerty is joining us to talk about the unexpected gift of limitations. Now you know me, Enneagram seven, more is always better, but I feel this topic, the gift of our limitations so deeply because it's how God develops us so often and how he points us to where he wants us to focus in life. Sarah is absolutely brilliant and you are going to love her.
Sara Hagerty is a bestselling author and Jesus follower. She has written four books, including her most recent release, The Gift of Limitations: Finding Beauty in Your Boundaries
As a writer, speaker, and mother of seven, Sara Hagerty knows what limitations feel like. Yet she has also seen how the boundaries of our life circumstances can bring about growth and satisfaction we'd never experience otherwise.

Favorite quotes:
“Comparison puts us constantly noticing our limitations against someone else who doesn’t have them.” (7:42 Video)
“We often don’t actually name our limitations, so there is an ache underneath our limits that needs to be grieved with God. But we live at such a surface level where we don’t name our limits and so we can’t grieve them. “ (11:48 Video)
“There is something significant about noticing ourselves because then we can actually have something we can bring to God.” (15:43 Video)
“The “sigh of life” is surrender and a sigh that comes after the grief of our limitations.” (24:14 Video)
