81: Releasing Perfectionism + Becoming Enough with Mazi Robinson

Are you a perfectionist? Perfectionism is one of those secret issues that many Christian women like us struggle with. We want to appear like life is perfect and we have it all together (because, what would it say about us if we didn’t?). What are the roots of perfectionism and how can we find healing if we struggle with perfectionism?

Today on the podcast we’re welcoming Mazi Robinson, a licensed counselor in the Atlanta area who speaks regularly on overcoming perfectionism. Mazi knows a lot about perfectionist–partially because she’s a recovering perfectionist like me, but also that she’s helped many women through the struggle so they can find victory and hope.

You'll learn:

Where the root of perfectionism begins for many women
How to recognize the specific lie (or lies) associated with your perfectionism
The connection between perfectionism and the fear of pain and discomfort
Specific strategies to learn to let go of perfectionism

I loved this quote from Mazi in today's episode on perfectionism: “Noticing perfectionism in yourself is not a marker of where you’re failing, but an opportunity to be more free.”

Mazi specializes in helping women discover their true voice as they navigate self worth/self esteem challenges, relationship concerns, and life stage transitions, and you can learn more about her work at MaziRobinson.com.

It is possible to let go of perfectionism and walk in freedom… and today's episode is packed with powerful advice and wisdom from two women who have struggled with perfectionism and found victory in Christ.
