What happens when the relentless pursuit of perfectionism clashes with the serenity of faith? Join me, Lemon Price, on the Milk and Honey podcast as I engage in a heartfelt conversation with my dear friend Vivian. Vivian opens up about her extraordinary journey toward balancing the demands of life while renewing her commitment to God. From the mental exhaustion she faced to the pivotal moment she rededicated her life to God, Vivian shares how she found purpose beyond mere career ambitions. We discuss how her experience of perfectionism and control during personal and family health crises led her to a deeper trust in God's plan and taught her the value of intentional living amidst life's chaos.

Can the quest for parental approval and societal acceptance shape our faith journey in unexpected ways? In our candid dialogue, Vivian and I uncover how growing up in a perfectionist household influenced her self-perception and habits into adulthood. We explore the pressure of seeking parental approval, the struggles with body image, and the societal judgments that compounded her anxiety. Through sharing personal stories, we highlight how these challenges intersect with our relationship with God, often revealing deeper truths about our faith and identity that we hadn't initially recognized.

How do you surrender your dreams to a higher power without losing sight of them? In the final chapters, we delve into the emotional journey of letting go of perfectionism and surrendering control to God's timing. I share my own experience of facing this at a writer's conference, where I had to come to terms with trusting God's plan over my personal ambitions. Alongside Vivian's testimony, we discuss the spiritual growth that comes from relinquishing control and embracing a purpose-driven life. We wrap up by emphasizing the importance of leadership, community feedback, and the ongoing journey of discovering our heavenly calling.
