In this episode, I explore the complexities of perfectionism, a challenge I personally face as a high-achieving woman.

While perfectionism might lead to high-quality results, the emotional toll and self-criticism that come with it can be overwhelming.I discuss why perfection is not the way forward, how to recognize the signs of perfectionism, and what you can do to overcome it. Through a powerful clip from actress Viola Davis, I emphasize the importance of self-worth, embracing imperfections, and dismantling societal pressures that push women to be flawless.Key Points:Perfectionism Defined: Perfectionism is not just the pursuit of excellence; it is often fueled by deep feelings of inadequacy and a fear of failure.My Personal Struggle: I open up about her own battles with perfectionism and how the pressure to over-deliver can lead to unnecessary self-criticism.Viola Davis’s Wisdom: A clip from Viola Davis highlights the importance of recognizing our inherent worth, regardless of society's standards of perfection.Psychology Today Insights: I reference an article from Psychology Today that explains how perfectionism can be both self-motivating and toxic, depending on its intensity.Common Signs of Perfectionism:Setting unrealistically high expectations.Being overly critical of mistakes.Procrastinating out of fear of failure.Shrugging off compliments and constantly seeking external validation.Takeaway: Perfectionism may seem like a pathway to success, but it often leads to burnout and a sense of unworthiness.
