Ditching Perfectionism for A Beautiful Both/And Life with Jillian Benfield


Listen Later

Do you find yourself in the midst of a never-ending overwhelming season? Have you bought into the lie that all the conditions to begin (not to mention yourself!) must be PERFECT before you can even start?

In this episode, Mary sits down with fellow author and good friend Jillian Benfield to talk disappointment, resilience, living in awe, the BOTH/AND life we need to embrace if we are ever going to stop waiting on perfect.… and her brand new book Overwhelmed and Grateful: The Key to Finding God's Goodness in All Life's Ups and Downs.

In this episode, you'll discover:

  • Why one of Fear's favorite whispers is "until life is perfect, you can't even begin"
  • Why we are WIRED to focus on the negative and how "noticing" is a radical act of rebellion
  • The difference between the BOTH/AND life and toxic positivity
  • The SCIENCE behind why gratitude might save your life
  • The biblical rhythms of order, disorder, and re-order we can EXPECT to see in our lives
  • and seriously SO much more!

After listening, you'll walk away with a whole new appreciation for the hard AND the holy, the joy AND the grief, the messy AND the miraculous… and a fire in your belly to start NOTICING this perfectly imperfect life all around you! Remember: We never asked you to be perfect… we just asked you to SHOW UP!
