In this episode I reflect on a recent trip to Connecticut with my mom. I share my ongoing journey of letting go of perfectionism and embracing the person God created me to be. We talk about the importance of being kind to ourselves, keeping promises to ourselves, and trusting that we do not have to carry every burden alone.
I also share a story about meeting a guy at a coffee shop and how that unexpected interaction sparked thoughts about dating, timing, vulnerability, and staying open to new possibilities while remaining grounded in self-worth.
This episode is a reminder that life is not meant to be rushed, perfected, or wished away. Whether you are navigating personal growth, relationships, anxiety, or uncertainty about the future, I hope this conversation encourages you to slow down and appreciate the season you are in right now.
