Two passport blunders. One recovering perfectionist. And a lot of learning to laugh at myself.This episode is about what sits underneath both of those moments. The version of me who used to ruminate for days over a mistake and who took everything seriously.Motherhood is the chaos that humbles you. It is also the thing that quietly teaches you that perfection is a myth.That even the best laid plans will fall apart.

To not take everything quite so seriously. To enjoy the chaos. In this episode:→ Why perfectionism and high standards are not the same thing→ What motherhood will teach you about self-forgiveness→ Why the gap between mistake and moving on is something you can actually shrink→ What I am trying to model for my children about grace and getting it wrongFor the mother who is still a little too hard on herself.This one is for you. 💛
