Episode 4: Perfectionism: How It Holds Us Back and How to Break Free
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Perfectionism often disguises itself as high standards, productivity, or success — but underneath, it can drive anxiety, burnout, and self-doubt.
In this episode, we explore how perfectionism shows up in women’s lives, why it’s so common, and how it impacts mental health, relationships, and self-worth.
We talk about:
- The difference between healthy ambition and perfectionism
- Why perfectionism often develops as a coping strategy
- Practical ways to loosen its grip and move toward self-compassion
If you’re tired of feeling like you’re never doing enough — this conversation is for you.
