Podcasts about Perfection

Parenting a child who melts down no matter how hard you try can feel draining and lonely. You've done the time-outs, taken away privileges, tried the sticker charts—and yet the child's behavior keeps coming back.Instead of helping, those strategies sometimes make things worse, leaving you wondering if you're doing something wrong. You're not alone, and it's not bad parenting—it's a dysregulated brain.In this episode, I'm breaking down why traditional discipline backfires on sensitive or neurodivergent kids, and what actually works instead. I'll give you practical strategies to calm the nervous system first, show you why connection always beats punishment, and teach you how to build the problem solving skills your child truly needs.Why doesn't time-out work for my neurodivergent child?If you've ever sent your child to time-out only to have the meltdown get worse, you're not imagining it. For many neurodivergent kids, time outs don't feel like teaching—they feel like rejection. And instead of calming down, their nervous system ramps up even more.Research shows that parents use time-outs inconsistently, and the reality is, they're often applied when a child is already at peak emotional dysregulation. In that state, the brain can't process or learn. Many neurodivergent kids experience shame, anxiety, or even sensory overload instead of gaining self-control.Here's what's really happening:Time-outs miss the teachable moment because kids are too dysregulated to reflect.Sensitive children feel wrong or rejected, which can trigger bigger power struggles.Connection is the game changer, because safety is what allows real emotional regulation.So if time-outs keep backfiring in your family, it isn't about bad parenting. It's not bad parenting—it's a dysregulated brain.How can I stay calm when my child is melting down?I know how exhausting it feels when your child is screaming, crying, or refusing to listen. In those moments, your own nervous system wants to react—but here's the truth: your calm is your child's calm. This is why I call parents the emotional anchor.When you regulate yourself first, you model the very skill your child is struggling to build. You don't need to get it right 100% of the time—aiming for 80% is more than enough. Perfection isn't required for growth, and reminding yourself of that can reduce the pressure and pain you carry as a mom or dad.A few ways to anchor yourself:Pause before reacting. Even 30 seconds of breathing can calm your nervous system.Check your body language. Slow down, soften your tone, and relax your shoulders.Co-regulate first. Teaching happens later—after your child feels safe and understood.

Mama, your greatest purpose on this earth is not to be a great wife or the perfect mom. Your primary purpose is to know the love of Jesus and to let Him be Lord of your life. All the other good stuff flows out of that.“But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations.” Psalm 33:11

Back-to-school season can feel overwhelming for moms—new routines, busy schedules, homework, and emotions running high. But here's the truth: the stress isn't just about logistics. It's about forgetting ourselves while managing everyone else.In this episode, I share how to bring more calm and connection to this transition with three key shifts:Connection over perfection – Why your kids need your presence, not your performance.Stress is contagious—so is calm – How to model regulation when you're stressed.Boundaries create safety – Why loving limits help your family feel secure.✨ Resources & Next Steps:Book a Boundary Breakthrough Session with Diane: https://www.dianesorensen.net/callDownload the free The S.T.O.P.

Ever worry that excellent performance might not be “good enough?” And maybe you've assumed that aiming for perfection is a safer bet? You're not alone, for what it's worth! But it's always interesting to get some actual data on this sort of thing, so a team of researchers conducted a series of studies to see if striving for perfection had benefits beyond aiming for excellence.

Have you ever found yourself quitting simply because it felt too heavy to carry alone—like you just couldn't keep up with the perfect diet, flawless workouts, or always making the “right” choices? Friend, you're not alone. The truth is, God never called us to perfection. His way is full of grace—grace that strengthens us to do what He's calling us to, and grace that picks us up when we fall.

And if you're craving encouragement and community, come join us in our Facebook group, Lose Weight, Live Free.

She went from being fired from her healthcare job to becoming a visibility strategist, award-winning podcaster, and CEO helping women get seen and paid for their gifts.Michelle has a gift for keeping it real. She talks about the paradox of social media, how to use it as a tool without letting it take over your life, and what it looks like to step back from work that feels heavy so you can build something that feels aligned. She also shares how she is guiding the next generation, including her own daughter, to show up online with intention and authenticity.Key TakeawaysSometimes being fired is the doorway into your true callingSocial media is just a tool, and it has to fit your lifePivoting is not failure, it is alignmentAuthenticity and consistency go further than chasing trendsProtecting your energy and creating real connections matter more than vanity metricsYou don't have to be everywhere online, just where it feels good and trueConnect with MichelleLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelle-thames/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/michelle.bridges.503/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michellelthames/Podcast https://bleav.com/shows/social-media-decoded/ Website: https://michellethames.com/Email michelle@michellethames.com  Support the showConnect with me in the following ways:www.theadventureparadox.com FacebookInstagramcatcaldwellmyers@gmail.com

Lama Zopa Rinpoche continues his oral transmission and commentary of the Praise to Buddha Shakyamuni. He explains how the second last verse of this prayer shows how all causative phenomena are transitory and they do not exist in the way they appear. He emphasizes that they do exist, just not in the way they appear.Rinpoche says that it's a very good meditation to continuously practice mindfulness by looking at life as like a dream. Similarly, when we recite the Heart Sutra, we use the word “no” on the merely labeled aggregates, form, feeling, cognition, consciousness. We use the word “no” like an atomic bomb thrown over the object of ignorance, which is the I appearing as a real one existing from its own side.Rinpoche explains how Lama Atisha used the word “AH” instead of “no” when reciting the Heart Sutra. He would say “AH form, AH sound” instead of “no form, no sound”. The reason is because AH is one syllable of the Perfection of Wisdom Sutra, which encompasses the heart of the 84,000 teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha. “AH” is a negative word, the same as “no”; it negates the hallucination of true existence.Rinpoche states that Buddha liberates us by revealing the truth, and it's only the wisdom realizing emptiness that can directly remove our delusions. So, it's important to be continually mindful of looking at the hallucination as a hallucination. Rinpoche says that we should use the dream in the place of no or AH and put the dream over the hallucination. When you practice mindfulness of this continuously, it brings you to the point of realizing emptiness (or at least reducing anger and attachment).From April 10 to May 10, 2004, Lama Zopa Rinpoche gave extensive teachings during the Mahamudra Retreat at Buddha House in Australia. While the retreat focused on Mahamudra, Rinpoche also taught on a wide range of Lamrim topics. This retreat marked the beginning of a series of month-long retreats in Australia. Subsequent retreats were held in 2011, 2014, and 2018, hosted by the Great Stupa of Universal Compassion in Bendigo.Find out more about Lama Zopa Rinpoche, his teachings and projects at https://fpmt.org/

The sermon emphasizes discerning genuine faith through observable actions, asserting that consistent negativity and fault-finding, regardless of claims, indicate a lack of spiritual fruit and potential corruption. Drawing from 1 John and Matthew, it cautions against judging motives while encouraging discernment based on behavior, highlighting the importance of aligning actions with God's will and rejecting worldly influences. Ultimately, it calls listeners to examine their lives, repent of sin, and seek a relationship with Christ characterized by righteousness and the conviction of the Holy Spirit, lest they face eternal consequences.

The sermon explores the ongoing battle within believers between their old and new natures, emphasizing that while Christians still experience temptation stemming from the flesh and the world, their new nature, born of God's incorruptible seed, cannot ultimately sin. It cautions against a license to sin, clarifying that true liberty lies not in fulfilling fleshly desires but in abiding in Christ and pursuing righteousness, mirroring the example of Jesus who consistently countered temptation with scripture. Ultimately, the message encourages listeners to arm themselves with God's word, recognizing that outward actions and fruit reveal the true nature of a believer, and to strive for a life lived in the Spirit rather than succumbing to the desires of the flesh.

The sermon explores the paradoxical nature of believers, acknowledging their inherent struggle with sin while affirming their identity as children of God. Drawing from passages in 1 John, Romans, and other Scriptures, it examines the tension between the old and new natures within each Christian, recognizing the persistent desire of the sin nature while emphasizing the transformative power of the Holy Spirit and God's Word. Ultimately, the message clarifies that while believers are capable of sinning, they are not destined for habitual sin, and that ongoing spiritual growth and obedience to God's law are essential for experiencing the fullness of their new life in Christ.

The sermon explores the nuanced relationship between sin, grace, and the Christian life, challenging the notion of sinless perfection while affirming God's unwavering faithfulness. Drawing from 1 John 3, the message clarifies that while believers are born of God and do not practice habitual sin, they remain susceptible to occasional transgression, emphasizing the necessity of confession and reliance on Christ's advocacy. The preacher underscores the importance of comparing Scripture with Scripture, guided by the Holy Spirit, to avoid contradictions and highlights the value of listener engagement through written responses and sharing the broadcast, as these actions shape the ministry's reach and impact.

We're heading to Perfection to unearth what's beneath 1990's Tremors. Does this cult classic horror/thriller/comedy hold up in today's post-Tremor's world? Can Kevin Bacon's career survive?

Paul leaves Timothy in Ephesus to deal with some issues in the church at Ephesus. He is a young man who is timid so Paul will tell him not to let that be a deterrent to what he is called to do. Before diving in to what instructions Paul gives Timothy for the church at Ephesus, we take a deep dive into the book of Ephesians to explore what some issues the church had, along with what Jesus had to say about the church in Revelation 2. There isn't a perfect church because there aren't any perfect people, so the church is full of imperfect people, or what people in the world call “hypocrites”. We are all sinners in need of salvation, grace, and mercy, and thought the church is full of imperfect people, it's still the body of Christ and together, we strive to be more like him every day!

Adam, Andy and Travis review a documentary about the life and tragically early death of music legend Karen Carpenter.

He built a 10,000-person Santa-themed party… and that's not even the craziest thing he's done in the music industry. Today on SITB, Wes Berger—San Diego entrepreneur, event producer, and all-around legend—shares how he went from Chicagoland kid to running some of the wildest events in SoCal… and the insane stories that came with it. This San Diego-based entrepreneur, talent buyer, label manager, event producer—and all-around solid dude— is a true legend. This guy's done it all behind the scenes: from Santacon to Freedom Fest to Daisy Chain and Subsessions, Wes has built brands that pull serious crowds. He's originally from Chicagoland, and in this episode he shares how he took a massive leap to the West Coast, the wins, the struggles, and some crazy industry stories along the way. You'll also catch the dynamic between us—we're longtime friends, which means plenty of roasting, plenty of laughs, and a lot of genuine insight into what it takes to thrive in this business.

In this series Dr. Mufti Abdur-Rahman covers the book titled, 'Essentials of Islamic Spirituality' previously known as 'The Path to Perfection'. Link to book: https://www.whitethreadpress.com/publication/essentials-of-islamic-spirituality/ At a time when the discourse surrounding Islam is generally inauthentic and shallow, The Essentials of Islamic Spirituality presents a much-needed antidote. It goes beyond simply diagnosing the spiritual ailments that afflict us; it puts forward means of eradicating them, so that we as individuals, as communities, and as an Umma can reap the benefits of a spiritual way of life. White Thread Press makes this invaluable work available in elegant and moving prose, while remaining true to its traditional origins. The result, a profound awakening of the heart, is within the reach of all. Those new to the spiritual sciences will delight in the range and profundity of the psychological and spiritual disciplines of Islam, while those already on the Path will gain new insights and perspectives. Shaykh Masihullah Khan, a renowned student of the eminent Mawlana Ashraf ‘Ali Thanawi, wrote Shari'at & Tasawwuf to pass on to future generations of Muslims the numerous benefits of his teacher's wisdom. The teachings gathered here are notes of admonition and encouragement written by a man who has walked the path to his Creator; and at their core, these teachings are sustenance for the ailing hearts and souls of our time.

Andreas Steno and Mikkel Rosenvold of Steno Research are back to discuss Putin and Trump's meeting in Alaska, what the latest economic data prints mean for markets, the Fed's Jackson Hole conference, and the scenario that markets are mispricing.

Welcome back to Let's Try This Again—I'm your host, B Simone, and this week I'm joined by my talented friend Diamond Batiste—a filmmaker, director, writer, and someone who's become a real brother to me in this industry. We get all the way real about what it means to grow as creators in today's oversaturated world, how consistency and joy are key (not just the numbers), and why being true to your vision is what separates you from the crowd. We dive into Diamond's honest testimony of falling in and out of faith, from reading the Bible in the Army to going through cycles of drifting, chasing love, dealing with abandonment, and realizing the real work starts with radical transparency—with yourself and others. Diamond shares how therapy (and being a Black man in therapy!) unlocked his next level, and how becoming a father and seeking a new relationship with God became his “try again” moment.We laugh about childhood, flirting with the line between authenticity and honesty, failing forward in relationships, and the struggle to create safe spaces for men (and women) to tell the truth without fear of penalty. I open up, too, about the power of community, the need for graceful pivots, and how I'm embracing budgeting, DIY, and building a business that glorifies God. This episode is for anyone holding themselves back, struggling with old patterns, or scared to be their full, vulnerable self. Whether you're a creative, a dreamer, or just trying to level up in life, our stories remind you: growth is messy, failure isn't fatal, and healing always starts with telling yourself (and others) the truth. //SPONSORS//BetterHelp: Our listeners get 10% off their first month at BetterHelp.com/BSIMONEPODLTTA APP: The App is available NOW!!

Read Online“If you wish to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”  When the young man heard this statement, he went away sad, for he had many possessions. Matthew 19:21–22This is the conclusion to the conversation that Jesus had with a rich young man who came to Him and asked, “Teacher, what good must I do to gain eternal life?” Jesus went on to tell him to keep the commandments. The young man said he has done so from his youth and wanted to know what else he could do. So Jesus answered his question. But the answer was more than the young man could accept.“If you wish to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” Do you want to be perfect? If so, then Jesus has set a high bar for such a goal. It seems that many followers of Christ are okay with simply being okay. In other words, it seems that it is rare to find a person who is wholeheartedly committed to perfection. Many may have good intentions, but it seems that there are few who fully commit themselves to all it takes to truly obtain the perfection to which we are all called. It's interesting to note that Jesus' initial response to this rich young man explained the requirements for entering eternal life, that is, the minimal requirement for obtaining Heaven. Simply put, Jesus said that if you refrain from serious sin by keeping the commandments, then you will inherit eternal life. Of course, that also presumes that you have the gift of faith and are thus open to the gift of salvation. So is that what you are content with? Are you satisfied with doing the minimum it takes to get to Heaven?The idea of perfection can appear to be beyond us. Too often we can think, “I'm only human.” But as a human who is called by God, we are invited to work toward the obtainable goal of greater holiness. Though we will always fall short, we must strive to become as holy as we can, holding nothing back.Though the invitation given to this young man to “go, sell what you have and give to the poor” is not a requirement that our Lord places on everyone, He does call some to do this literally. But for everyone else, the invitation still remains—but in a spiritual sense rather than a literal sense. This is the spiritual call to interior poverty of spirit. Everyone of us is called to be interiorly detached from the things of this world in a complete way, even though we retain our possessions. We must have as our single possession the love of God and the service of His will. This depth of spiritual detachment means that God and His holy will is all we desire in life. And if He ever were to call us to literally give everything up, we would do it without hesitation. And though that may seem extreme, it is, in fact, exactly what will benefit us the most. It is the only way to become fully human and fully the person we were meant to be. And the end reward is not only the attainment of Heaven but an incomprehensible amount of glory in Heaven. The holier we become here on earth, the greater will our eternal reward be in Heaven. Do not hesitate to do all you can to build up that treasure that will be with you forever.Reflect, today, upon the high calling to perfection given to you by God. Ask yourself in a very sincere way whether or not you are simply okay with being okay or if you want so much more. Do you want the greatest riches in Heaven? Do you want your eternity to be one in which the spiritual treasures you build up now are with you forever? Do not hesitate to accept this high calling from Jesus. Allow His invitation to this rich young man to echo within your heart as His personal invitation to you, also. Say “Yes” to Him and know that you will be eternally grateful you did. My loving Lord, You invited the rich young man to strive for perfection. You also invite me and all Your children to this holy and high calling. Give me the grace I need to detach from all that hinders this goal so that I can make You and Your holy will the central and only goal of my life. Jesus, I trust in You.  Image: Nheyob, CC BY-SA 4.0, via Wikimedia CommonsSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.
