Episode 31: Perfection can be the Enemy of the Good

from Mama in the Saddle · host Elizabeth Do Carmo

I don't know about you, but sometimes I like things to be perfect. Left unchecked, I believe that the house needs other be clean, the kids cheerful, things "just so" in order for me to be happy. But the reality is, circumstances don't make me happy. And if I'm always striving for perfection, I miss the wonder and good that is already going on around me. In this episode, I share some personal stories from the last few weeks about how I tried to push for perfection, and came to realize how good things already are, and resting in that, which has brought so much joy!Also, if you haven't heard, I recently published my newest book, "Mama in the Saddle." I'm so excited to share it with you!! Find it on Amazon here.
