You might not even think of yourself as a perfectionist. But perfectionism is sneaky — it hides in the invisible pressure you put on yourself without even noticing it's there.

This episode shines a light on the surprisingly subtle ways perfectionism adds to your overwhelm — and what to do about it.

  • why you don't have to identify as a perfectionist to be affected by it
  • the invisible pressure of perfectionism and how it quietly drains you
  • how trying to be perfect fuels the overwhelm into exhaustion cycle
  • recognising your own perfectionist patterns — however well disguised
  • the gently rebellious alternative to the pursuit of perfect

For anyone who knows perfection isn't possible — and somehow keeps trying anyway.
