The Myth of Perfection Is Killing Your Peace, Choose Truth Instead
Episode 96
Featuring Justin Egliskis
In a world that rewards hustle and highlight reels, what does it mean to live your spirituality rather than perform it? Dr. Sandra Marie sits down with Justin Egliskis, host of Energy Alignment for Entrepreneurs, to explore stress as a sign of expansion, the loneliness beneath online “belonging,” and why authenticity, not perfection, is the anchor when life speeds up. Expect practical tools, honest stories, and a reminder that alignment is a relationship, not a destination.
Key Topics
Performative spirituality vs. lived practice — moving from image to embodiment
Stress & sensitivity as growth signals — reading friction without self-shame
False belonging online — why the scroll can mimic community and deepen isolation
Metrics & meaning — engaging analytics without losing your why
Practical alignment — mornings, movement, food, fresh air, and phone boundaries
Judgment & compassion — easing self-criticism to free compassion for others
Seasons of life — working with contraction/expansion without forcing pace
Practical Takeaways
Try the 1-hour phone-free morning and notice your baseline calm/clarity.
When triggered, name the stimulus, breathe, reposition (walk, pause, reset tone).
Treat stress like a teacher: What skill/process/limit is it pointing to?
For creators: Check analytics last, intention first. Ask, “Why am I sharing this?”
Use seasonal thinking: Winter isn’t failure; it’s preparation.
