Does perfection stop you?

Perfection is a shield that I have held up for a very long time, thinking it would keep me safe. Six years ago, I realized that perfection wasn't keeping me safe; instead, it was breaking my heart. This episode celebrates our fifth month of the podcast, and I am talking about ditching perfection for happiness. Plus, I dive deep into intimacy, communication, and connection in the pursuit of your own purposeful transformation. Tune in as I give tips for growing intimacy within your marriage and other relationships in your life.

In this Episode:

• [ 6:50 ] Why we should lean into the fire of personal growth   
• [ 13:10 ] All about the Book on Love conference
• [ 18:25 ] Intimacy is the opposite of hiding
• [ 21:50 ] Seek to understand rather than to be understood
• [ 27:00 ] Communication is a marriage skill you can learn

Quotes: 

• "Perfection is the opposite of intimacy."
• "In these intimate relationships, we are holding one another's insecurities with grace."
• "The more we communicate better and better, the more we argue less and less."
• "How do you want to feel when this is over?"
• "We matter so much that we have to take the time for ourselves to answer these questions to create our own intimacy."
