Episode Details

Imagine looking at a painting that is considered a masterpiece, each brushstroke, while not perfect on its own, contributes to the overall beauty of the final artwork. Our lives are like those masterworks —  a collection of moments, that when we take a step back from the canvas of our lives, enables us to see how each moment adds a unique contribution to the bigger picture. 

Join Lisa and Michael for an exploration into the distinction between feeling perfect and striving to be perfect in our relentless pursuit of achievement and success. Feeling perfect is about accepting ourselves exactly as we are, recognizing our inherent worthiness and embracing our imperfections as part of what makes us uniquely human. On the other hand, the drive to be perfect is rooted in external validation, fueled by unrealistic standards and the fear of falling short. 

We will be delving into prioritizing feeling perfect over striving to be perfect, as a means of unlocking a profound sense of freedom and self-compassion. By embracing imperfection and celebrating progress over perfection, we open ourselves up to a world of possibility and potential where every experience is an opportunity for growth and self-discovery. We learn to embrace the journey, with all its twists and turns, knowing that each step forward is a testament to our resilience and courage. As we cultivate a mindset of self-compassion and acceptance, we begin to realize that perfection is not the goal; rather, it is the journey of becoming our most authentic selves. Discover how recognizing the beauty in our imperfections allows us to paint a picture of a life that’s perfectly imperfect, beautifully unfolding with every step we take. 

“The goal is to FEEL perfect,not be perfect. Feeling perfection brings perfection, so feel it until it arrives.” — Sirius Joy
