From People-Pleasing to Inner Peace | Healing Perfectionism with Rachel Thornton

Rachel Thornton believes perfectionism isn’t about excellence—it’s about confusing your identity with your output. In this episode, she and Tori explore how perfectionism manifests in motherhood, careers, relationships, and especially during midlife transitions. You’ll learn why perfectionism is so common for women, and how to reclaim your sense of self beyond the to-do list.
