Episode 13
In this episode, Dr. Jen Doty and clinical therapist Jessica Peterson talk about toxic perfectionism. In a world that constantly holds up high expectations, it can be hard to be compassionate with ourselves when we slip up. When we practice letting go of perfectionism and learning from our mistakes, though, our kids see that and learn to do the same. Join us for a conversation about giving ourselves a bit of grace.
