Are you a perfectionist? In today’s episode, we’re taking a deep dive into what perfectionism really means, especially for those who feel they’re constantly struggling to keep up with their dreams or feel a fear of failure. This is a common theme among my coaching clients, and it’s often connected to deeper issues, like childhood trauma.

Here’s what we discuss:

  • The Perfectionism Cycle: Understanding how perfectionism can start in childhood and persist into adulthood, often affecting your “inner child.”
  • The Challenge of Being in the Moment: Why perfectionists often struggle to stay present and how this affects everyday life.
  • Recognizing Perfectionist Patterns: Learning to identify signs of perfectionism as the first step toward breaking free.
  • Embracing Your Authentic Self: Steps you can take to overcome perfectionism and work toward a more genuine, slow living life.

If you’re ready to let go of the need for perfection and embrace a more balanced life, this episode is for you. Listen in to start breaking the perfectionism cycle and become more comfortable in your own skin.
