TW: perfectionism, mental health struggles, self-worth struggles/negative self-talk, eating disorders, fatphobia


Does anyone else identify as a recovering perfectionist? Because I sure do. 


This week we have an affirming conversation with  Dr. Menije (she/her) about perfectionism. Perfectionism is so rooted in our culture, and tends to be a common thread throughout a lot of mental health issues. 


For me, with my background in religion, I feel that perfection is the root of so many of my anxieties and insecurities, and I’m sure many of you relate. In this episode, we cover the reality of what perfectionism is, how to approach it, and why it’s so pervasive. 


If you want to learn from Dr. Menije and follow her work, you can find her on IG @dr.menije . You can also find her courses, blog, and free resources on her website
