Freedom from Perfectionism: A Conversation with Bethany Broderick
“Am I good enough?” It’s a question so many of us whisper in the quiet moments—when the lights go out, the to-do list is unfinished, and our hearts ache with the weight of not measuring up.
This week on The Love Offering podcast, I’m joined by Bethany Broderick, author of Perfected: Ditching Perfection & Receiving God’s Grace in the Midst of Our Mess. In this beautiful conversation, Bethany vulnerably shares her struggle with perfectionism, insecurity, and the desperate desire to feel “enough”—for others, for herself, and even for God.
We talk about:
*Why the affirmations of culture and even the church sometimes fall short
*The hidden ways perfectionism can shape our faith
*What it means to truly rest in the finished work of Christ
*How we can live in freedom, not fear
If you’ve been caught in the exhausting cycle of striving—this episode is an invitation to let go. You don’t have to be good enough. You don’t have to prove yourself. Christ is enough for you.
I pray this conversation gives you permission to stop striving and start resting—in the arms of the One who has already perfected you by His grace.
With you in love and freedom,
Rachael
