The Healing Project: You, Me, & We

Prioritize: Presence Over Perfection


Listen Later

In this final episode of the Grounded Through the Holidays series, Coach Jefferson invites you to slow down and choose what truly matters.

After weeks of talking about pausing before you pour out and protecting your peace, this conversation brings it all together by focusing on prioritizing presence over perfection. The holidays don’t usually overwhelm us all at once — they overwhelm us when everything becomes important and nothing is chosen intentionally. Using the story of Mary and Martha (Luke 10:41–42), Rosa gently reframes the pressure to perform and reminds us that being busy is not the same as being meaningful.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why comparison and performance quietly drain joy during the holidays
  • The difference between perfection and presence
  • How to prioritize people over presentation
  • Why connection matters more than control
  • How rest supports love, responsibility, and peace

    Key Truth: Peace grows where priorities are clear.

    This episode includes practical reflection questions and a simple weekly practice to help you decide what to hold onto — and what to release — so you can stay grounded through the season.
