Ep 50 Growth in Failure: Ditching Perfectionism & Embracing A Messy Life

In this episode of Spiritually Hungry, Monica and Michael conclude their series on self-sabotage, this week exploring how striving to be perfect actually disrupts our lives and leads us to judging ourselves and others. Listen as they discuss the real benefits of leading a ‘messy’ life, one in which we abandon the illusion of perfection and embrace our failures as opportunities for growth.



We aren’t meant to be perfect; we are meant to live in the mud and, from that mud, take out a spark of Light. – Michael Berg
