Summary
Your Perfect Imperfection: How to Embrace & Celebrate Your Flaws
Though we tend to think of our imperfections in a negative light – often as a result of external influences – they are actually part of what makes each of us unique and whole. Join Monica and Michael as they discuss where our thoughts of imperfection come from, why we are not meant to be perfect but instead constantly driven to be better, and how viewing our supposed ‘flaws’ in a positive way honors our soul and lights the path to true fulfillment.
Our differences are really our superpowers. – Monica Berg

| 1:09.6 | We are going to focus on focus. No, we're not. Yes, we are. |

| 1:26.3 | on one or two things that maybe aren't working or things that we feel we lack. Is it starting to bring a bell now? Yep, many bells are I off. And before we know it, we've wandered into the realm of should be and begin mistaking our differences for imperfections. Let me tell you a little story. I know how you like stories. I love them. |
