It’s challenging to be a perfectionist when you’re this far from perfect. It leaves me in a constant state of never being or feeling like enough and always being terrified to put myself out there. But I’m working on that. Do you feel similarly? I would be thrilled if you want to join me on this journey.

Here’s where I would use words to categorize myself like wife, mother, daughter, friend, Christian, etc., but in this space, I’m working hard to just be me – no labels, no expectations, no judgment.

I am broken – cracked, scuffed, marred – but rather than “fixing” these imperfections, I want to learn to embrace them. I want to believe and show there can be beauty from my brokenness.
