This episode begins with the podcast’s first bad review! We’re making progress over here!

Then we’re diving into superhero stories (specifically Spiderman) and discussing what it means to take a hero-sized “leap of faith” in your mental, emotional, and spiritual health journey. Taking ownership for that leap isn’t just intimidating - it’s outrageously freeing. 

A few of the leaps of faith we mention are

• Showing up scared
• Making a second appointment with your therapist/spiritual director/coach
• Being vulnerable
• Sharing the hard stuff - not just the wins

We also tackle the problem of perfectionism, and discuss the beauty of embracing the messiness of real life. And don’t worry: we’re not just talking about you - we’re sharing our own personal pitfalls and perfectionistic tendencies as well. 

The best part of every superhero movie is when the hero tests his strength for the first time. If you haven’t had the equivalent of that moment in your life yet, maybe now is the time. 

Unleash your inner Spiderman: take a leap of faith with us.
