#23 - The Perfectionism Trap – When Excellence Becomes Your Enemy

from FeJonesLive Podcast: Empowered Living Through Faith · host FeJonesLive

You keep calling it “excellence.” But deep down, you know it’s perfectionism.You’ve got high standards. You want your work to reflect the greatness of God. But somewhere along the way, your gift for excellence started to feel more like a burden than a blessing.Now? You’re stuck in a cycle of overthinking, overworking, and never releasing.This episode is for the woman who can’t hit publish.For the one who keeps tweaking the same project.For the one who’s tired of procrastinating in the name of “getting it right.”It’s not that the work isn’t good—it’s that the fear is louder than your faith.Perfectionism doesn’t just affect your productivity. It affects your view of God. It twists His voice into criticism and pressure. It convinces you that nothing you offer is good enough unless it’s flawless. And while you’re stuck editing and polishing, the moment God prepared for impact is passing you by.This episode exposes the spiritual distortion behind performance-driven perfectionism—and how it often disguises itself as holiness. Learn how perfectionism can mask fear, create burnout, and keep you from fulfilling your assignment.You’ll also hear the powerful truth that broke the cycle:“Did you do your best? Then cast the net.”Because what transforms lives isn’t perfect work—it’s released work.Work done with obedience. With heart. With faith.If your constant striving is leaving you depleted instead of empowered, this episode will help you:Recognize when perfectionism is hiding behind “high standards”Break free from fear-based delay and mental gridlockRebuild your rhythms with peace, obedience, and clarityStop editing your way out of impactYou don’t need more time. You don’t need another draft.You need to release what God already approved.Press play. This one’s not just healing—it’s a confrontation.
