The Trap of Self-Judgment: Perfectionism Meets Performance with Dr. Marina Harris
Perfectionism is a double-edged sword. It drives us, and can also derail us. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Marina Harris, a former Division I gymnast turned psychologist and performance consultant, who’s mastered the art of turning high-pressure expectations into healthy, high performance.
Marina brings a unique perspective from the front lines at Bloom Psychology Group, where she works with anxious and perfectionistic high achievers striving to balance their mental well-being with their ambitions. Today, she’ll share transformative insights on how closely mental health and performance are intertwined, and why a flexible, compassionate approach can be your greatest asset in managing perfectionism.
Whether you’re an athlete, coach, or anyone who’s ever felt paralyzed by the need to be perfect, this episode is tailored for you. Tune in to discover how you can start embracing your imperfections and transform the way you approach challenges—both on and off the field.
Let’s head into the lab and unpack these insights to forge a healthier, more sustainable path forward in our quest for excellence.
