Join us - simplyconvivial.com/coaching | Perfectionism blinds us to the beauty already in front of us. In this episode, I talk with Rachel Wendel, a wife and mom of four who discovered how small touches of beauty—and a massive mindset shift—changed her homemaking from burdensome to joyful.
Rachel shares:
Why perfectionism kept her from starting anything
How tiny, inexpensive beauty touches lifted the whole mood of her home
What happened when she let her kids participate in creating beauty
How conversations with her husband shifted her entire vision for their home
Why she had to repent of wanting a “picture-perfect” house instead of a family home
The heart-level issue behind why adding beauty felt overwhelming
Her story is a powerful reminder: you don’t need a perfect house to make it beautiful. You need attention, iteration, and a willingness to let real life—not Pinterest—shape your home.
