In this episode of Everything’s Messy Podcast, we’re diving into something we all wrestle with—perfectionism! As Thanksgiving approaches and November wraps up, I’m sharing some heartfelt insights about letting go of those sky-high expectations and embracing life’s wonderfully messy moments. 🌟

I’m a self-proclaimed “recovering perfectionist,” and let me tell you, the struggle is real. But here’s the truth—holding onto unrealistic standards only steals joy from the moments that matter most. Holidays are the perfect (pun intended 😉) time to loosen the reins and focus on what really counts: connection, laughter, and imperfectly perfect memories.

From my own experiences with shift-work families to navigating the chaos of family gatherings, I’ve learned that joy doesn’t come from the Pinterest-worthy turkey table. Nope, it’s found in the love shared, the giggles at burnt rolls, and the stories swapped around the table—even if it’s not Instagram-ready.

So, how do we ditch those impossible expectations? It starts with self-reflection and accountability. I’m inspired by thought leaders like Jordan Peterson, who reminds us about the power of personal responsibility, and Jocko Willink’s concept of owning our choices. Taking a deep breath (literally, deep belly breaths can be a lifesaver 🧘‍♀️) and resetting our mindset is the key to reducing stress and reclaiming joy.

When family dynamics get tricky—and let’s be honest, they often do—I’ve found that asking myself one simple question can make all the difference: “Is my expectation reasonable?” This mindset shift helps me focus on empathy, understanding, and what I can control rather than what’s out of my hands.

Here’s the bottom line: life isn’t about perfection; it’s about connection and embracing the beautiful chaos around us. Let’s celebrate the messy moments, the ones where joy sneaks in when we least expect it. Because honestly? That’s where the magic happens. ✨

So, grab a plate of something delicious, take a deep breath, and let’s enjoy this wild ride together. Keep it messy, my friends, and have a fabulous Thanksgiving! 🦃💖
