What is perfection, really? And why do so many of us chase it—especially when it leaves us anxious, exhausted, or feeling like we’ll never measure up?

In this honest and heartfelt conversation, the Fresh Wave crew welcomes returning guest Sabrina and newcomer Natalie to talk all things perfectionism . From pressure in friendships and school to striving in our faith, we explore where this desire to “be enough” comes from—and why it so often leaves us empty.

 Is it pride? Fear? People-pleasing?
 What if the pursuit of perfection actually keeps us from surrendering to God?
And what does Jesus say about all this?

This episode goes deep—from Genesis to Ephesians to James—with encouragement for anyone struggling to feel worthy or whole. You’ll hear personal stories, scripture reflections, some big “aha” moments, and the beautiful reminder that...

You don’t have to be enough. Jesus already is.
