In this episode, we’re having a heart-to-heart about perfectionism—the sneaky mindset that keeps us stuck, second-guessing, and waiting for the “perfect” moment that never comes. I’m sharing my own struggles with perfectionism and what I’ve learned about breaking free from its grip.

Through biblical wisdom and relatable talk, we’ll uncover why waiting for everything to be "just right" can lead to missed opportunities and unnecessary frustration. Instead, I’ll walk you through how to trust God’s perfection, embrace the messy middle, and say YES even when things feel uncertain.

Plus, I have a special invite just for you!
