Ep.32 How to overcome perfectionism and still be a high achiever!
Show Notes

Do you tend to procrastinate, doubt yourself and excessively ruminate on what went wrong? Do you not attempt certain things you’d really like to do out of a fear of failure or fear of judgement from others? Do you struggle with low self-esteem and low self-worth? 

These may all be signs you struggle with perfectionism. But you likely know that. This episode is all about how you can break out of that perfectionistic paralysis, heal your wounds and live a happier & healthier life, while still being a high achiever. 

You’ll learn how perfectionism is a defense mechanism that you use to avoid feeling shame, pain or fear and how shadow work can help with that, why resting guilt-free and practicing self-compassion are crucial as well as common misconceptions about perfectionism and other ways to overcome it.
