Welcome to Episode 6 of the Saved You a Seat Podcast! We’re a group of creative women who love Jesus, value authenticity, and want to talk honestly about what it looks like to follow God in the middle of everyday life.
If you’ve ever hesitated to start something because you were afraid it wouldn’t be “good enough,” this episode is for you. Host Rose Jordan is joined by Racquel Lopez, Carre Phillips, and Cristina Slabic to talk about what perfectionism looks like in their creative lives, the ways fear can keep us stuck, and how grace sets us free to try, fail, and keep creating anyway.
Meet the Voices Around the Table:
- Rose Jordan – host, author, podcast host, and founder of Beneath The Fig Tree
- Racquel Lopez – founder of Fun Free & Flourishing
- Carre Phillips – writer and creative encourager
- Cristina Slabic – author, speaker, and coach at CristinaSlabic.com
What We Talked About:
- How perfectionism shows up in our creative lives
- The ways fear of failure can keep us from starting
- Stories of moments that didn’t go as planned—but still mattered
- What it looks like to create from grace instead of performance
- Redefining success in light of God’s character and calling
- Practical tools and truths that help us move forward when perfectionism tries to take over
Practical Encouragement:
“You don’t have to get it right the first time. You don’t have to prove yourself through polished work. You don’t have to earn your place at the table. God already gave you the seat. So create from grace—not perfection.”
Scripture Shared:
- Proverbs 24:16 –
“Though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again…”
