Alana Garcia and I have been friends since we were nine years old.

She has seen the best of me and the worst of me,

and our friendship is honestly stronger now than it has ever been.

Alana is someone who pours wisdom into my life consistently.

She is an old soul and she's loved by everyone who meets her.

We have a relationship where we just get one another. We click and one of the struggles

that Alana and I have both faced equally is the tendency to people please and

to strive for perfectionism. It has created many issues in our own lives and we've both

worked together to fight the temptation to live that way and as we've gotten older

although it is definitely still a struggle for both of us,

we've learned so much about ourselves

and we feel that we have grown in this area.

And so on today's conversation,

we are joking and laughing and sharing ridiculous things

while also giving practical advice on escaping perfectionism and people

pleasing.

I hope that this episode is a breath of fresh air for you in this season of life, that you're

able to laugh with us over a cup of coffee and that you will be

blessed by the wisdom that Alana shares. Let's jump in.

Hey friends we were never promised that life would be easy. Sometimes it is

hard and super crazy, but when we do life together we find that it becomes a lot

easier and much more fun. I believe in
