Nicole Roth: Finding God’s Love After Tragedy, Shame & Perfectionism — Part 2 (Ep. 013)

There are two voices inside every perfectionist: the lie that says you’ll never be enough — and the truth that God’s grace covers it all. In Part 2 of our conversation with joy coach Nicole Roth, we move from story to strategy: Nicole teaches the Joy Quotient, a simple, visual “equation” you can use in the moment to replace shame with truth, move from victim to victor, and reclaim daily joy.

Nicole opens up about wrestling with shame, how a tragic past led to breakthrough, and how practical spiritual tools (and God’s kindness) make real change possible. If you’ve ever felt stuck by perfectionism, this episode gives hope, a how-to, and resources to share with women you love.

Ever read "Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect" (Matthew 5:48) and felt gut-punched by pressure and shame? You're not alone, friend.

In this episode, we peel back the layers of what perfection really means in God’s eyes—and spoiler alert—it’s not about flawlessness, performance, or checking all the spiritual boxes. It’s about fullness, maturity, and a heart rooted in love.

Join Leneé as she exposes the counterfeit perfectionism so many Christian women have unknowingly worshipped, and offers a grace-filled invitation to step into the kind of "perfect" God actually desires.

You'll learn:

• The surprising truth behind Matthew 5:48
• How to silence the inner critic and stop performing for approval
• Why your desire to please God isn’t failing—it’s being formed
• 5 powerful ways to shift your perspective from striving to surrender

It’s time to ditch the world’s definition of perfection and embrace the one that brings rest, freedom, and deep intimacy with Jesus.

🎧 Plus, don’t forget to take the Grace Scale Assessment linked in the show notes—it’s an eye-opener (in the best way).
