In this episode, I’ll be talking about something that hits close to home for so many of us – perfectionism. I know, I know, it's heavy stuff, but stick with me! This is something I’ve seen almost every friend struggle with, something my coaching clients face, and – full disclosure – something I struggle with too. If you think you’re not tangled up with perfectionism, think again. She’s sneaky and shows up in all kinds of disguises like fear, control, procrastination, anxiety, and defensiveness.
Let’s get real. I’m going to share my journey with perfectionism and the chaos it’s stirred up in my life. We’ll also talk about how to loosen its grip and maybe even make it our friend. Ready to embrace imperfection today? Let’s get started!
