What’s the difference between striving to do your best and feeling like nothing is ever good enough? In this chapter of Grace over the Grind, we break down the line between healthy excellence and perfectionism and how quickly one can turn into the other. While striving can motivate growth, perfectionism often comes with hidden costs, especially in our relationships. From unrealistic expectations to a lack of presence and burnout, we explore how the pressure to be perfect can affect how we connect with others and ourselves. This segment invites you to rethink what “doing your best” really means.
