Listen "Chapter 24: The silent pressure to be perfect"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Antihero Unplugged, this episode talks about the silent pressure to be perfect, especially for first-borns and high achievers. It shares a personal moment of staying up until 2 AM rewriting an essay, not because it was bad, but because it wasn’t "perfect." This episode explores how perfectionism feels like control but is actually a cage that limits growth. This episode talks about examples like Taylor Swift and Simone Biles, which shows their embrace of vulnerability over flawlessness. Some strategies to overcome perfectionism are offered, such as redefining success, celebrating imperfections, and focusing on the bigger picture. The episode closes with a reminder that true confidence comes from showing up authentically and choosing progress over perfection. Copyright @ 2025 Cecilia Isabel Gonzalez. All rights reserved
