Podcasts about perfection infection

Let's be real: some of us aren't just experiencing burnout—we're perfecting it. Overachieving our way into exhaustion. Piling on responsibilities like it's an Olympic sport. And believing that if we just get it right enough, peace and happiness will magically follow. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Tiffany Moon, a board-certified anesthesiologist, CEO, speaker, entrepreneur, wine and candle maker (yes, really), and reality TV alum—basically a walking resume of overachievement. But she's also someone who knows what it feels like to chase perfection at the expense of joy—and how to break free from it. Her book, Joy Prescriptions, explores the cost of perfectionism and what it really takes to reclaim your happiness. Together, we're talking burnout, boundaries, high-achieving pressure, and how to stop proving your worth through productivity. In This Episode, We Cover: ✅ What perfectionist burnout really looks like (and why it's so sneaky) ✅ The hidden cost of tying your identity to achievement ✅ Why rest is not a reward—it's a requirement ✅ Practical ways to redefine success without burning out If you're tired of proving, pushing, or performing your way to “enough”—this one's for you.

No marriage is perfect. But every marriage can get better. Do you feel like the spark is gone? Has a critical spirit invaded your marriage? Do you want more intimacy, but something is in the way? You could be suffering from the Perfection Infection.   The Perfection Infection happens when we cultivate unrealistic expectations of ourselves and our spouse, gradually leading to intimacy-killing behavior, also known as the "Seven Slow Fades." That was the case for Jill and Mark Savage, and it eventually led to infidelity.   In her book No More Perfect Marriages and in today's episode, Jill speaks honestly about their struggles, how they came back from betrayal, and the principles that keep their marriage strong today. She guides us in everything we need to know to kick the Perfection Infection right out and return to intimacy.   On today's show, we discuss:   How the Perfection Infection invades a marriage--even a good marriage How to detect and correct the Seven Slow Fades How to set and communicate realistic expectations What to do if your spouse won't change How to guard your marriage from the Perfection Infection for good   Join us in realizing that hurting marriages can heal and  good marriages can become great. Your marriage isn't perfect, but it can be perfected.    Connect with Jill: https://jillsavage.org/   Read the Show Notes: https://rachaelkadams.com/      Support the Show: https://rachaelkadams.com/ Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

PERFECTION, we take a breath together and realize we can release this “protection” taking us away from our purpose. You got this!

Perfection is the enemy of confidence. It tells us we need to do it all, be it all, have it all, look good while we're doing it AND somehow make it look effortless. I am Nicole Kalil, a recovering perfectionist - and on today's episode, we are going to talk about what my guest calls, the perfection infection. Jill Savage is the author of fourteen books: No More Perfect Moms, No More Perfect Kids and No More Perfect Marriages among them. She also hosts the No More Perfect podcast with her husband, Mark. I think it's pretty obvious that Jill has a very clear message. Known for her honest and engaging communication both as a speaker and in life, she's here today to challenge us to stop comparing our insides to other people's outsides. I'm going to give it to you straight…you will never arrive at confidence via the perfectionism highway. Grace, kindness, messy imperfect action, trusting yourself, especially during the hard times, that's the stuff of real confidence. Confidence is your choice to make anytime you want, because that is woman's work.

Perfection is not a prerequisite to following God or having a relationship with him. We can embrace our flaws and our faith at the same time.

We all want everything to be perfect. God wants honesty over perfection.

Have you ever met someone and felt like you could talk for hours and hours, and especially if you lived closer, would be great friends? Well, that's what I experienced in this conversation I had with Maggie Graham. Maggie asked if she could interview me for her online event for homeschool moms as I homeschooled off and on when my kids were at home. However, in the interview, we ended up talking about so many things in addition to homeschooling -- motherhood, navigating the perfection infection, developing strong relationships with our kids, handling imperfection in marriage, and learning to let go. Whether you homeschool or not, I believe this conversation will speak directly to your heart!So after the event was over, I reached out to see if I could share our conversation with you. And she said yes! I'm so grateful that you get to be a part of this conversation and, if you are a mom in any season of life, I look forward to hearing what stands out most to you!Show Notes: https://jillsavage.org/maggie-graham-55/

I am a planner.  When I am entering a new situation, I like to know what is happening, visualize the outcome and plan for all variables,  So, needless to say when I was pregnant with my first child, I PLANNED. I read numerous parenting books and observed what other parents did (and of course, I told myself I would NEVER make the same mistakes they were making).  Well, it turns out that no matter how much planning AND praying I do, these little humans come with their own personalities and ability to choose. I can’t control all aspects of their lives- DANG IT! So even though I had visions of all my kids being great piano players...some are- some are not. I was sure all my kids would be great athletes...some are, some are not.  I put my kids in singing groups to ensure they would be beautiful singers...NONE of them are. And most importantly I wanted my kids to always be kind and obedient...sometimes they are, and a lot of time they are not. Letting go of the “perfect son or daughter” and my “perfect parenting” that I had in my head can be frustrating and disappointing. In this episode, we talk to Jill Savage.  Jill is the founder of Hearts at Home, a non profit organization that focuses on educating and encouraging moms.  We discuss letting go of that “perfect kid,” ideal and loving our kids for who they are...flaws and all. Here is what we talked about: The difference between striving for excellence and striving for perfection. Setting unrealistic expectations. Indicators/Warning Signs that you are expecting perfection. What is “Perfection Infection” and how to recognize it. The antidote for “perfection infection” Using compassion with your kids. Ways to show more compassion to your kids. Using LOVE to combat perfection. Three steps for “keeping your love on.” Helping your kids to feel accepted. The importance of evaluating what you are trying to change in your children. Acceptance doesn’t mean that you always agree with your child. Perception is being able to perceive the INDIVIDUAL needs of your kids. How to know when it’s time to let your child quit and when they should persevere. How to help kids to see their own unique worth. Mom Squad Challenge: When you see someone on social media or in person and you start the comparison trap, just say to yourself “she has a backstory I don’t know.”  This will help you to keep proper perspective and to pursue conversations you might not have had otherwise.

Author and Speaker Jill Savage speaks with Roland about why many of us pursue perfection and the dangers it brings. She also highlights some ways we can "kick the infection" from our homes and families.

The “Perfection Infection” can invade every aspect of life, including our motherhood.  Today’s guest, Jill Savage and Lee Nienhuis discuss 4 ways parents can keep perfectionism from harming the relationships with their children.  Honest about the issues that trap us, Jill offers hope for moms who know they struggle with disappointment and a critical spirit. About Our Guest: Jill Savage is an author and speaker who is passionate about encouraging families. She is the author or co-author of twelve books including Professionalizing Motherhood, My Hearts At Home, Real Moms…Real Jesus, and No More Perfect Kids and the founder of the Hearts at Home conferences.  She and her husband, Mark, have 5 grown kids and make their home in Illinois. Jill's go-to verse for praying for her kids right now: Ephesians 4:32 “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” (NIV)  Philippians 1:6 “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ.”(NIV)   Jill Savage- www.jillsavage.org Moms in Prayer International- www.MomsInPrayer.org  

Jill Savage is an amazing woman. But not just because she speaks, writes, shares goodness and leads thousands of people around the world. It’s because she’s real. And she knows how to look at motherhood with a solid, beautiful perspective that can’t help but inspire you.   In today’s episode of Power of Moms Radio, we discuss some great topics that can help you better care for your family including How to catch ourselves before we go down "the rabbit hole” of frustration and comparison.   - How to transform the challenges of marriage and use them as growing opportunities.   - How to recognize when we’re unfairly comparing our children—to each other, to kids we know, or to those “imaginary perfect kids” that we’re sure exist somewhere out there.   - How to use the “CLAP” acronym to help us respond to a child who is perhaps driving us crazy.  :)   - How to fill our wells and take care of ourselves—because all this work we’re doing to emotionally support our families require energy that must be replenished.   For full show notes, please visit powerofmoms.com/2-5
