Are you constantly striving but never feeling like it’s enough—spiritually or physically? In this powerful episode, we explore the hidden weight of perfectionism and the peace that comes when we surrender control.
Rooted in Matthew 6:34, and inspired by the life of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, this conversation dives deep into the spiritual and physical dangers of performance-driven living. We’ll discuss Josef Pieper’s insights on worth and work, the impact of perfectionism on fitness goals, and how letting go can open us to God’s healing grace.
You’ll leave this episode with a renewed sense of trust in the process and a practical challenge to help you surrender what’s been weighing you down.

- The toxic cycle of perfectionism in faith and fitness
- How St. Thérèse’s “little way” offers a path of peace
- What Josef Pieper teaches us about rest and human dignity

Action Challenge:
