Ever felt like if it’s not perfect, it’s not worth doing at all? Or that your worth hinges on how flawlessly you perform? You’re not alone and you’re not broken.
In this episode we’re diving deep into the perfectionism trap: how it quietly sabotages your potential, delays your dreams, and robs you of peace.
Together, we’ll unpack what perfectionism really is (hint: it’s not just about high standards), where it stems from (inner child wounds, abandonment fears, and more), and why we keep repeating this pattern even when it hurts us. Then you will learn how to unlearn perfectionism and find peace in your own version of success. Let's do this.
