S3 E9 | Overcoming Perfectionism in Work, Relationships, and Faith

Send us a text

Perfectionism promises peace but leaves us exhausted. 

In this episode of The Living Story, I share the quiet ways perfectionism shows up in our lives at work, in relationships, and in our faith, and how to finally let it go.

Through the sharp precision of Lessons in Chemistry’s Elizabeth Zott, the striving of Martha in Luke 10, the résumé of Paul, and the failure of Peter, we discover why God never asked us to be flawless, only faithful.

I also share personal stories from my classroom, my church kitchen, and this very podcast, where I struggled with trying to get everything “just right.” 

If you have ever carried the weight of other people’s emotions, felt pressure to prove your worth, or hidden your “in-progress” self, this conversation is for you.

By the end, you will walk away with:
 ✅ Practical journal prompts to expose perfectionist lies
 ✅ Reflection steps to release what is not yours to carry
 ✅ Encouragement to choose presence over performance

It is time to stop striving for perfection and start resting in God’s presence.
