#21 The Freedom of Letting Go: From Perfectionism to Peace

Have you ever messed up something simple and instantly gone into a spiral of shame, frustration, or self-blame? Yeah—me too. But what if there’s another way to live?

In today’s episode, I share a real-life moment that could’ve triggered my old perfectionist patterns: showing up late, at the wrong school, for a meeting I thought I had under control. But instead of beating myself up, I laughed—and in that moment, I realized how far I’ve come.

This episode is a heartfelt invitation to step away from the exhausting pressure to be perfect and step into the peace of giving yourself grace. We’ll talk about how perfectionism shows up, how to shift away from it, and how embracing your humanness leads to more freedom, joy, and connection.

If you’re tired of holding yourself to unrealistic standards, this one’s for you.

What You’ll Learn:

• How perfectionism disguises itself in everyday life
• Why grace is more powerful than shame
• 5 ways to start letting go and living lighter
• The peace and presence that come with being human—not perfect

You don’t have to get it all right. You just have to keep showing up.

Let this be your permission slip to exhale and embrace the beauty of imperfection.

In a world where being perfect seems to be the goal- - it’s important that we know who’s we are & who we are.

We aren’t called to be perfect - we are called to be better today than yesterday! - that’s it. It doesn’t have to be quantum leaps, in fact I believe that in the day to day -our little steps in the right directions!

I am on a mission to help women become more of who they were created to be and less of who they were told to be.

And, that takes intention, that takes action

: My goal is to drop some wisdom, bring you resources and that takes community.
