We spend so much of our lives trying to control, plan, and be perfect—yet we still feel anxious, disconnected, and exhausted.
What if the problem isn’t that you’re doing too little… but that you’re holding on too tightly?

In this episode of The I’mperfect Podcast, I sit with Kiki (Marie-Christine Naim)—artist, public figure, and deeply intuitive soul—to explore what it really means to go with the flow in a chaotic world.

We talk about:
✨ Why we all have multiple versions of ourselves
✨ The hidden cost of control and perfectionism
✨ How presence—not effort—is true spirituality
✨ Letting life guide you, even when things fall apart
✨ Trusting yourself when fear and doubt show up
✨ Raising conscious children in a hyper-digital world

This is a conversation about imperfection, trust, and coming home to yourself—without pretending life is easy or that fear ever fully disappears.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or pressured to “have it all together,” this episode is for you.

Welcome back to the I’mperfect Podcast — the space where beauty comes from meaning, not from perfection.

In this episode, I sit down with Georges, a movie maker and a longtime friend whose presence is both grounding and inspiring. He’s a man who embodies courage, curiosity, and the willingness to show up as he is — without the masks. Georges opens up about the imperfections that shaped his journey: from the pressure to perform, to the cracks that revealed his deepest strength.

✨ The moments Georges felt the most imperfect — and why they became his greatest teachers
✨ The balance between masculinity and vulnerability in a perfection-obsessed world
✨ How imperfection, far from being a weakness, can actually create meaning, freedom, and connection

This is not about fixing ourselves. It’s about telling the truth: that we are all human, messy, and still worthy.

In this raw and heartfelt episode of the Imperfect Podcast, I sit down with my dear friend Joumana for a conversation that is as real as it gets.

Joumana introduces herself simply as a “human being on a mission she hasn’t yet fully discovered.” And that’s exactly what makes this talk so powerful: it’s about being human, embracing uncertainty, and finding meaning in imperfection.

We speak about the pressure to be perfect that starts in childhood, when school and society push us into roles we never chose. Joumana shares how this shaped her parenting approach—choosing happiness for her kids over perfect grades, and freedom of choice over societal expectations.

We dive into the imperfections of health, as Joumana opens up about living with an inflammatory breast cancer diagnosis. But she refuses the language of “fighting.” Instead, she embraces listening to her body, trusting her intuition, and seeing even her diagnosis as a grace. Her perspective challenges the way we think about illness, survival, and what it means to truly live.

She reminds us that perfection doesn’t exist—it’s just programming. What matters is faith, intention, and the courage to see the blessings hidden in life’s most difficult moments. Whether it’s parenting, career struggles, or health challenges, Joumana shows us how imperfections are not failures—they are invitations to grow, to know ourselves better, and to reclaim our worth.

We laugh, we get real, and we even touch on fear—because even with wisdom and strength, fear still lives in us. And that’s human too.

✨ This episode is imperfect, just like life itself. Imperfect internet, imperfect sound, imperfect humans—and yet, within the cracks, there’s truth, beauty, and meaning.

If you’ve ever felt not enough, pressured to be perfect, or weighed down by society’s expectations, this conversation will remind you: you are more than enough, just as you are.
