In today's episode, I discuss a topic that has taken over my life for many years—perfectionism. It came up during a coaching session I had with a new coach. She asked me, "What would it be like to take the risk and dare to show up as yourself, to the fullest of who you are?" This got me thinking about how perfectionism impacted my life for so many years and how I want to show up now.
Perfectionism is sometimes confused with striving to do your best, but, in reality, it has nothing to do with doing your best. It's about trying to control the uncontrollable. It's filled with self-criticism, unachievable standards, overthinking, fear of judgment from others, and much more.
One of the solutions to perfectionism is the buzzword authenticity – being who you truly are. Moving from perfectionism to being authentic is not something you can do overnight. But you can learn to do it by starting small, setting boundaries and getting to know yourself. In the show, I share strategies on how to do just that.
At the end of the show, I leave you with a dare. A dare similar to the one I was asked, but this one's from me to you.
