Ever notice how the harder you try to get everything right, the more isolated and empty you feel? This week Luke unpacks perfectionism not as a personality flaw, but as a survival strategy—a shield we use to avoid shame and rejection.
Drawing on Brené Brown's work and his own recovery journey, he explores why we chase an impossible standard and what it costs us in connection, authenticity, and peace.
What You'll Learn:
Why perfectionism is fear-based, not excellence-driven
How shame and control fuel the need to be "perfect"
Practical questions to shift from performance to presence
