The Perfection Trap
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Throughout this heartfelt conversation, Celestina confronts the myth of perfection that women feel pressured to uphold, especially when living as a woman of faith. She talks openly about childhood stress, cultural expectations, and how her unwavering faith helped her walk through pain without breaking. You’ll discover how her experiences shaped a life of strength, truth, and purpose, and why honoring your real self is the key to genuine happiness and peace.
