Listen "107) Overcoming Perfectionism: Brave Enough to Try...Even If You Fail"
Episode Synopsis
                            🟡 Introduction Have you ever stopped yourself from trying something new because you weren't sure you'd be good at it? Welcome to the club—and welcome to the latest episode of Rise Up & Roar. Today, Carrie gets real about perfectionism, the fear of failure, and how God calls us to step into progress, not perfection. What if the bravest thing you can do is try…and be bad at it? ✨ Narrative Walk-Through Carrie shares personal stories from her younger years where she quit things not because she couldn't—but because she was scared to fail. From basketball to baking show metaphors to bold faith steps like Peter walking on water, this episode is a freeing reminder that failing doesn't make you a failure. With Scripture as the foundation, Carrie challenges the lies of the enemy and invites listeners into a growth mindset rooted in grace and identity in Christ. Whether you've quit too soon or never even started, this episode will light a fire under your faith and encourage you to rise again. 📌 Key Topics Covered   The perfectionism trap: tying your identity to performance and productivity   The lie of "I failed, so I am a failure"   How the enemy keeps us living small by keeping us afraid of failure   What it means to "fail forward" in faith   The difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset   Biblical encouragement for when life (or water skiing) gets messy   How to embrace God's grace in the learning process   Declaring truth over your identity, even in the awkward places   ✅ Takeaways   Failure is not your identity.   God invites us to keep going, not give up.   Grace is for the mess, not just the masterpiece.   You can't grow if you're not willing to start.   Faith starts where our expertise ends.   🔔 Challenge of the Week: Take one bold, messy, imperfect step toward something you've been avoiding because you were afraid to fail. Bonus points if you can laugh at yourself in the process. 🗣️ Closing Call to Action Need a little extra encouragement on your brave, messy journey? 👉 Book your Personal Soul Care Session - https://CarrieHurley.com/private-dsc-session  📥 Grab your FREE 100 Declarations of Truth & Grace - https://CarrieHurley.com/100  🌐 Visit: https://CarrieHurley.com  📖 Join The Verse Thing - https://TheVerseThing.com  💗 Support the mission: https://Patreon.com/CarrieHurleyRiseUp  💬 Let's connect on Facebook and Instagram ✨ If this episode spoke to you, please leave a review!
