The Problem With Perfect
If perfection is an illusion, why are so many of us chasing it? We live in a world that is constantly telling us we need to be it all and have it all to be worthy. It leads us to hide our imperfections and overcompensate our strengths - and leaves us exhausted. Join hosts Robin May and Denise Bickel for meaningful, cross-generational conversations that will leave you uplifted and encouraged about a future freed from the problem with perfect.

What if the very things we try to avoid in life- the discomfort, the struggle, the seasons that feel too heavy- are actually the moments shaping who we are becoming?
In this episode, we explore Tapas, the third Niyama in yogic philosophy. Often translated as “heat” or self-discipline, Tapas invites us to stay present in life’s refining fires rather than running from them. It’s the courage to sit with discomfort long enough to discover the transformation waiting on the other side
Together we discuss:
- Why discipline isn’t about punishment, but about strength of character
- How crises can either break us down or break us open
- The role discomfort plays in spiritual and personal growth
- How faith, perseverance, and even ordinary challenges can shape us in powerful ways
Join us as we consider that the greatest growth might happen when we choose not to escape the fire, but trust it instead.
