"If not now, then when? If not me, then who?"
What drives someone to show up even when life feels messy and imperfect? In this candid episode of Angels Anonymous, Vanessa Persephone, a former professional dancer turned yoga instructor and health coach, shares her personal journey of showing up imperfectly. Vanessa talks about how small, imperfect actions can still move you forward, even on days when inspiration feels out of reach.
She explores the delicate balance between discipline and compassion, emphasising that discipline builds trust and momentum, while compassion prevents burnout. Vanessa's story is filled with raw honesty as she opens up about her struggles with anxiety and the pressure of perfectionism. She offers practical advice on grounding yourself with simple actions like meditation and journaling. Vanessa also shares an angel number message, 111, reminding us that every tiny step plants a seed for new beginnings.
Her vulnerability and humour make this episode a refreshing listen for anyone seeking to embrace their imperfections and continue on their path to recovery. So, where in your life could you allow yourself to show up imperfectly but still show up? It's not about being perfect; it's about being present.
