Please share your thoughts about how you felt about the episode and/or podcast!

In this episode of A Mother’s Journey to Holistic Health and Healing, Marissa explores the deep roots of perfectionism and how it shows up in motherhood, health, and daily life.  She shares how perfectionism often shows up as anxiety, all-or-nothing thinking, burnout, people-pleasing, and self-judgment—and how those patterns disconnect us from joy, rest, and authenticity. 

You’ll learn why perfectionism happens, how it’s often tied to childhood conditioning and nervous system patterns, and—most importantly—how to begin healing it through holistic, compassionate practices.

Marissa shares powerful tools from her own journey, including self-compassion, letting go of the need to control, inner child work, energy healing, and how to break free from all-or-nothing thinking. If you’re a high-achieving mom who’s tired of the pressure to do it all perfectly, this episode will help you find peace, permission, and a more connected path forward.

 If you're ready to break the cycle of perfectionism and live from a place of wholeness, this one's for you.
