Why does feedback feel so personal when you’re a perfectionist?

In this episode of Perfecting Imperfectionism, Certified Professional Coach Laura Meredith unpacks why critique can feel like a threat to your worth, the hidden costs of avoiding or over-internalizing it, and how to reframe it as neutral data you can actually use for growth.

Through personal stories and practical strategies, Laura shows you how to pause, process, and reclaim feedback as a powerful tool for growth rather than a source of fear. If you’ve ever replayed a comment for days or dreaded hearing, “Can I give you some feedback?,” this episode will help you shift your perspective and build resilience around receiving feedback one conversation at a time.

💡 Reflection prompt: Think of a piece of feedback you’ve received recently. How did you interpret it? How would it feel to view it as neutral data instead of judgment? What might that open up for you?
