Listen "Learning to Embrace the Imperfections"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Best Fails, host Alison Beckles sits downwith Avelyn Christie for a candid and deeply human conversation about a failure in progress. Avelyn discusses her vision for an organization aimed at empowering young girls inspired by Kintsugi, a Japanese artform which celebrates the beauty in brokenness. In a moment of irony, Avelyn realised that her desire for perfection has kept the organization from ever launching. What began as a mission to provide solace and find beauty in our imperfect lives had been stalled by the very fear it was seeking to dismantle. Together, Alison andAvelyn explore vulnerability, accountability, and the ways perfectionism can quietly limit the impact we are capable of making. Avelyn’s story is a powerful reminder: meaningful impact doesn’t require perfection—it requires presence.
