238: When Trying Harder Isn’t the Answer — Receiving the Love You Already Are

from I'm Perfectly Divine Podcast · host Michelle Bersell

We’ve all been told, “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.”
But what if all that trying leaves you feeling more unseen, unappreciated, and exhausted?Yes, perseverance matters. But there’s a point where effort becomes a trap—when trying harder only deepens the frustration, because you keep getting the same results no matter how hard you try. Despite your good intentions, the love you so deeply want to share isn’t truly received, because there’s a deeper intention that needs your attention.In this episode, I share the raw truth of how I’ve hit that wall—more than once—and what it’s taught me about love, worthiness, and letting go of the pressure to prove.✨ You’ll hear about:- Why trying harder can backfire (and what to do instead)- The hidden meaning behind our judgment of "try-hards"- The difference between feminine and masculine expressions of love- The kind of love that doesn’t fix you—but fortifies you from withinIf you’ve ever felt like no matter how much you give, it’s still not enough… this is your invitation to shift. Not by doing more, but by receiving more. Because the more you learn to receive all of you, the more you will be able to receive in all areas of life. That’s the love that awaits you—not through more trying, but through the choice to remember instead.
