One of the best ways to overcome perfectionism is to celebrate your successes, no matter how small they may seem. Each step forward is progress.

We haven't been posting for a while, and it's been hard for us because of Jessica's perfectionism. People's judgments hit us hard and really take a toll, pushing us to strive for perfection. We need to embrace the small steps of this journey. Our practical advice on overcoming perfectionism includes celebrating successes, acknowledging mistakes as learning opportunities, setting realistic expectations, practicing self-compassion, and seeking professional help.

Welcome to 'The Why Matters Podcast,' where we explore life lessons, things we often take for granted, and everything in between, gathered from our decade-long full-time travel lifestyle. Each week, we'll delve deep into the 'why' behind the choices we humans make in life and the positive results that stem from a strong sense of purpose.
