I Don't Think We Talk Enough About...
Episode 76 | Breaking The Grip Of Perfectionism (with Dr Jen Douglas)
In this episode, I sit down with Dr Jen Douglas - psychologist, former Stanford professor, and expert on perfectionism - to unpack what perfectionism really is, where it comes from, and how it quietly shapes our lives. We talk about the roots of perfectionistic thinking, the emotional and relational costs, and why so many of us feel trapped in impossible standards.
We also answer your questions and share practical tools to help you loosen perfectionism’s grip and move toward a more compassionate, grounded way of being.
Perfectionism isn’t the pursuit of excellence - it’s the fear of being seen as anything less.
If you’re tired of feeling like nothing you do is ever enough, this conversation really is for you.
