description: LIVE A LIFE OF MEANING AND CONNECTIONInstead of pushing for perfectionA few years ago I found myself exhausted and isolated my soul and body sick. I was tired of being tired burned out on busy. And it seemed almost everyone I talked with was in the same boat: longing for connection meaning depth but settling for busy.I am a wife mother daughter sister friend neighbor writer and I know all too well that settling feeling. But over the course of the last few years Ive learned a way to live marked by grace love rest and play. And its changing everything.Present Over Perfect is an invitation to this journey that changed my life. Ill walk this path with you a path away from frantic pushing and proving and toward your essential self the one you were created to be before you began proving and earning for your worth.Written in Shaunas warm and vulnerable style this collection of essays focuses on the most important transformation in her life and maybe yours too: leaving behind busyness and frantic living and rediscovering the person you were made to be.
