"Breaking Free from Perfectionism" with Ming Chen

Have you ever felt like perfectionism is both your superpower and your biggest obstacle? Sometimes our lives look “perfect” from the outside–we have a level of success in our career, we have the home, car, clothes, luxurious vacations, and we can buy what we want. But at what cost to us on the inside? In this episode, Ming Chen (Executive Leadership and Career Pivot Coach), shares how she got out of her own way by learning how to break free from the limiting beliefs of perfectionism. We explore how perfectionism showed up for her in her leadership roles, how her experience as an immigrant fueled a relentless pursuit of excellence, and the hidden costs of striving for perfection: burnout, resentment, and ultimately, living a life that felt smaller than it should.
We discuss what overcoming perfectionism looks like and the freedom it creates—freedom to take risks, embrace mistakes, and live with self-compassion, authenticity, and purpose. If perfectionism has ever left you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’re chasing a never-ending goalpost, this episode is for you.
