Practice makes p- did you think we were gonna say perfect? You must be new here ;)
Being a perfectionist is rough stuff and can cause major impacts to your physical and mental health. We are conditioned to believe that there is only one right way to be and one path to follow and that veering away from those standards means absolute failure.
In our fourth, completely unedited and imperfect episode, we explore various forms of perfectionism, explain why they're shit, and how you can tell perfectionism to literally suck it.
If you still have "practice makes perfect" rattling around in your head, here are some tips to help support your imperfect journey:
- Avoid editing your life "behind the scenes" by not using filters or spending significant amounts of time editing your content.
- Therapy baybeeeeee.
- Understand there is no one right way to be.
- Don't say sorry for taking up space or using your voice.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
