In this episode, Heather talks about restricting access to those non-VIPs in her life or who put only a little amount of effort, as well as how to grant access to others and at what cost. Considering that we occasionally grant access to those who do not deserve it, this episode is also a reminder that "Not everyone deserves access to your life." Cut off access to you from those who don't deserve it to free up the space and energy inside of your thoughts—PROTECT YOUR PEACE.

📣 Questions that I want you guys to answer truthfully and honestly.

1. Are you showing up to your friends and family only on social media?
2. If so, how can you be more intentional with their relationships in your life?
3. Is there anyone in your life that doesn't deserve VIP access to you? And if so, how can you create boundaries to protect your peace?
4. I challenge you to pick a friend in your contacts, the more random the better. — Facetime them. Remind them that they're a "Bad bitch and have a great day!"
