15. Coming up roses
LISTEN ON: Apple Podcasts | Spotify
Dusty has a kamikaze robin trying to break in (Filbert, thank you very much), and Christina has a rose bush that’s carrying way more emotional weight than a plant should have to carry.
Today, we talk about why feeding ourselves can be such a challenge, which dovetails into a lively conversation around self-care, soul care, and Dusty’s framework for not letting her days get away from her.
The heart of it, though, is Christina naming that her perfectionism might be quietly feeding her depression, and how Oxford is gently dismantling an identity she didn’t realize she’d built. We end up somewhere I didn’t see coming — a charcoal fire, John 21, and the way God tends to redeem broken things rather than erase them.

WE DISUCSS:
* A plant is just a plant. It’s okay to release something whose symbolism has soured.
* Caring for your body isn’t selfish.
* Across most diets that “work,” the common denominator is cutting ultra-processed foods.
* Perfectionism served you once — be kind to that version of you as you let it go.
* The all-or-nothing trap is often what’s feeding the depression underneath.
* At its root, perfectionism is a trust issue.
* Break your day into quarters. A rough morning doesn’t have to scrap the whole day.
* Slow living isn’t always a choice — sometimes it’s a surrender, and there’s intimacy with Christ in it.
* God doesn’t always remove our brokenness, but He is always redeeming it.
