Chasing Perfection
A Journey to Healing, Fitness, and Self-Love
The book that started the movement.
Break free from the pressure to perform. Reconnect with your true self. Find freedom through faith, identity, and self-love.
Why I Wrote This Book
Chasing Perfection isn’t just a title—it was my life.
I spent years performing, proving, and pushing myself to be who I thought the world wanted. I wore the smile. I chased success. I built the image.
But behind it all…
I was burned out.
I was soul-weary.
And I was completely disconnected from who I truly was.
This book is my story—but it’s also yours.
It’s the hand I wish I had to hold during the moments I felt most lost.
The moments I questioned my worth.
The moments I forgot who I was… and whose I was.
This is for the woman who is:
-
Struggling to find herself beneath the roles she plays
-
Burned out from doing all the “right” things and still feeling empty
-
Desperate for peace, presence, and purpose
-
Ready to begin again—with God, with herself, and with her story
Chasing Perfection is a journey home.
Home to your identity.
Home to your truth.
Home to the woman you were always meant to be.
This is the beginning of healing, self-discovery, and freedom.
And you don’t have to walk it alone anymore.
I've got you!
"I wasn’t sure what I’d learn from this book… but I was blown away.”
Chasing Perfection goes deep into the mind games we play on ourselves—the way we exaggerate the bad and downplay the good. Rachel’s raw honesty and the reflection questions at the end of each chapter were exactly what I needed. This book held up a mirror in the most empowering way. If you’re a woman who wants to understand herself better, read this. — Cheryl R.
“Deeply personal, incredibly empowering, and refreshingly real.”
Rachel puts it all out there with vulnerability and strength. Her story walks you through mindset, body image, and self-worth—and doesn’t just inspire, but teaches. I especially loved her approach to fitness and her ability to receive feedback (even disappointment) with grace. This wasn’t the book I expected… it was better. — E.Sander
“One of the most honest books I’ve ever read.”
Rachel’s story made me feel seen. She talks about insecurities and limiting beliefs in a way that felt like my own thoughts on the page. Chasing Perfection showed me I’m not alone in struggling with negative self-talk. It gave me tools—and hope—to get out of that spiral. I recommend this book to anyone trying to reclaim their confidence. — Jordan Alexo
About the Book
Chasing Perfection isn’t just another self-help book—it’s a raw, real, and faith-fueled invitation to unbecome everything you were never meant to be, so you can finally become who God created you to be.
This is a journey through burnout, body shame, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and performance… and what happens when you finally say, “enough.”
You’ll walk with me through:
-
The identity crisis that began with a single question: “Who are you?”
-
The healing power of movement and fitness—not as punishment, but as worship
-
The unraveling of shame, masks, and striving
-
The courageous choice to stop proving your worth and start living in it
-
The messy, beautiful middle—where God met me, not after I had it all together, but right in the thick of my healing
This isn’t a book about perfection. It’s about presence. It’s about choosing truth over trends, soul over striving, and love over lack.
If you’ve ever felt like you lost yourself in the chase to be “enough,” this is for you.
