Today I will not have a guest and it will likely be a shorter episode but it’s my kids 2nd birthday today - happy birthday Chandler bug! - and this week has been wild, but nonetheless I hope you enjoy it. I’m gong to be chatting or ranting, depending on how you look at it all about the pressure to be perfect… Now I am going to be talking from a female’s perspective as I am a female but I do think this feeling applies to men in a lot of ways too- just differently than women. 

I discuss the different ways I have felt the pressure to be perfect throughout the years and how I now am fighting against those pressures.

If you enjoy this episode it would mean a lot to me for you to rate and review the show on whatever platform you're listening! And be sure to follow @fortheellofit on Instagram for behind the scenes, episode insights and more.

As always, thanks for being here friends, I'll see you next week!

XOXO Ell

August Sponsor

This month’s podcast sponsor - Just Between Friends Grand Rapids. If you know me well, you know I LOVE to thrift shop. Just Between Friends is a twice-a-year kids mega consignment sale where local families can save hundreds of dollars (and make hundreds of dollars) on everything they need to raise confident, stylish, good-looking kids! Families sell items they’ve outgrown and buy items they need at 50-90% off retail. Shoppers can stop running around to garage sales, have failed meetups and get everything they need for the next 6 months—all in one clean, safe, organized space! And after the sale, unsold items can be donated to local West Michigan charities. So everyone in the community wins.  The average seller made over $500 in the last sale, join them and turn your unused children’s clutter into cash.  They have consignor coaches who can help you along the way and a Facebook group that is super supportive. For more information and to purchase your tickets for the sale, visit ⁠www.grandrapids.jbfsale.com⁠
