Sue Schlesman: Breaking Free From The Prison Of Perfectionism

Have you ever struggled with perfectionism? You feel like if you can get everything “just right” you can avoid any unpleasantness and everyone will love you. The problem is you end up weighed down and exhausted. Author and speaker Sue Schlesman has battled perfectionism in many areas of life. We dive into the struggle of perfectionism—how it takes hold of our hearts, fuels comparison, and steals our joy. Together, we explore the difference between excellence and perfection, how Biblical perfection differs from the pressure of worldly perfectionism, and why our motivation is the key to detection.
