About the book

Edit Your Life Ep. 119: Modeling Imperfection [Rebroadcast]

in: Life & Relationships

Last week’s episode on coping with parenting and work overwhelm clearly touched a nerve for many listeners; part of the overwhelm being related to persistent, nagging anxiety about not being able to do things “right.” But there’s a lot of power in periodic stumbles and falls, and, often, positive surprises as a result. In Episode 119 of Edit Your Life, Christine and I rebroadcast 8 tips for modeling imperfection, and share how our respective journeys embracing and modeling imperfection have gone in the two years since the original broadcast.
