The Feast Life

#60: Three Things I'm Letting Go of in 2025


Listen Later

 In this episode of The Feast Life, Julie Ross shares her heart as she reflects on three things she’s letting go of in 2025: perfectionism, comparison, and always trying to do more. These struggles are all too familiar for homeschool moms, and they often leave us feeling drained, disconnected, and inadequate. But it doesn’t have to be this way!

Julie dives deep into how these tendencies creep into our lives, why they’re so harmful, and, most importantly, how we can release them to embrace more peace, connection, and joy. If you’ve ever felt the weight of unrealistic expectations, the sting of comparison, or the pressure to keep doing more, this episode is for you.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why perfectionism stifles growth and creates unnecessary tension—and how to embrace “good enough.”
  • How to reframe comparison as a tool for clarity and reflection instead of letting it steal your joy.
  • The hidden cost of always trying to do more and practical ways to redefine “enough” for yourself and your family.
  • Simple, actionable practices to help you pause, reflect, and show up more fully for the people you love.
