"I am the biggest obstacle to my dreams." --Craig D. Lounsbrough

I have yet to find a mom who does not identify as a perfectionist. Even those that swear they aren’t are really just in denial. For so long we have been in survival mode. Putting our head down and getting it done. Let me just get through today, this week, this month…sound familiar? When you combine perfectionism with survival you get a perfect storm of all or nothing. 

We’re either giving it our absolute all, or we are binging the next season of our favorite show. We are either eating only green juice, and fasting 18 hours, or eating to abandonment all weekend. 

All or nothing. 

And as a result, we are averaging out to exhaustion, shame, and disappointment. But what would living in a state of moderation or neutral look like? In this episode, I layout the dangers of what we are considering self-care in survival mode, and I give my strategies on shifting to thriving and how that changes our perspective on how we approach our work, our health, our movement, and our peace of mind. Let’s go.
