Soulful Practices Podcast

The Grace of Imperfection

Listen Later

Welcome to Episode 7 of the Soulful Practices Podcast! Join Michelle Holling-Brooks as she explores the beauty and grace found in imperfection.


This week, Michelle builds a Healing Practice around a profound quote by Leonard Cohen from his song "Anthem": “Forget your perfect offering. There is a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in.” She invites you to join her in cultivating greater comfort with the gift of imperfection.


In this episode, Michelle shares:


  • Setting the intention to notice when the illusion of perfection causes self-sabotage and hinders the expression of your inner offerings.
  • Guiding your attention to moments when protective fears override your inner guidance, such as: Overworking and second-guessing your inner inspirations, Stopping yourself from taking action and being seen, and Restricting your ability to share your expressions and creations with others.
  • Pausing to soften and look inward during moments of awareness to illuminate parts of yourself lost in protective stories.
  • Helping your attention flow to inner courage and acceptance, releasing yourself from the spell of perfection and accessing new levels of freedom to share with yourself and others.
  • Asking, "What do I need to see, know, feel, and hear right now to open to the light that is held in the cracks?" and listening to your inner guidance.


    • Join the conversation, share your thoughts, and connect with us on our social channels to explore ideas, tips, and practices that resonate with you. We look forward to supporting you on your journey to holistic healing and spiritual growth.
