"Being scared means that this is what you should be doing, it's clearly what you want and that fear needs to drive you forward, instead of keeping you standing still." - Alicia Peterkin
In goodtherapy.org perfectionism is defined as the need to be or appear to be perfect, or even believe that it's possible to achieve perfection and we are going to get real today about how that has played out in both of our lives as entrepreneurs and women.
In this episode of BOSS™ Talk, I am speaking with Alicia D. Peterkin, the Founder & CEO of New Methods Consulting, Inc., a full-service HR outsourcing firm. I am so excited to have Alicia here today speaking about perfectionism and how it shows up in her day-to-day life and the discussions we have had about it in our coaching sessions. During the show, Alicia candidly shares how a coaching session with me gave her permission to say yes to herself and stop waiting on the 'perfect circumstance' to shift and prioritize her own happiness.
Alicia is now on a mission to stay in this self-sustaining place she found since shifting and she believes there are many others out there like her that are desperately searching for more - a BOSS™ Shift is that more!
Here's what you can expect from this episode:
- A look into what perfectionism really looks like
- Understanding how perfectionism is related to procrastination
- Identifying the type of mindset needed to make a BOSS™ Shift

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
