The Abundant Woman Collective Podcast, Christian Women, Know God, Read The Bible, Renew Your Mind

Hey friends,

In this episode of the Abundant Woman Collective Podcast, Vivian Cummins shares her personal journey of battling perfectionism and striving for control. Vivian, a federal employee with over 24 years of civilian service, talks about how her need for perfection and control led to an unbalanced life filled with stress, burnout, depression, and anxiety.

In 2020, she rededicated her life to the Lord and vowed to relinquish control and submit to God's will.

However, in 2021, her life took a challenging turn when she was diagnosed with stage three melanoma. Despite the fear and difficulty of this season, Vivian claims it set her free from captivity and taught her to embrace imperfection, recognize unbalance, and trust God.

Today, Vivian not only shares her testimony with other busy women but also provides valuable lessons and helpful tips for actively seeking balance. She emphasizes the importance of recognizing when you're feeling unbalanced, being intentional about self-care, and relying on the power of Scripture and prayer to combat perfectionism.

Vivian's story serves as a powerful reminder that you're not alone in your struggles, and God is always there to provide guidance and healing. Embracing vulnerability and seeking His help can lead to a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Until Next Time,

Sam
