In this episode of The Chase Life Podcast, Rachel and David break down perfectionism, why high achievers fall into its trap, and how it's secretly sabotaging your success in business, health, and life.

They cover:

• Why perfectionism is NOT high standards (and why it's actually the lowest standard)
• How perfectionism keeps you stuck in self-doubt, stress, and overwork
• The 'campaign lifestyle' trap that causes burnout & inconsistency
• How perfectionists sabotage their health, weight loss, and body goals
• The difference between high-achievers who thrive and those who burn out
• How to raise your standards WITHOUT self-sabotage
• Why identity shifts are the key to lasting transformation
• The practical mindset shifts to overcome perfectionism for good

If you're constantly feeling like you're falling behind, not doing enough, or stuck in an all-or-nothing cycle, this episode is for you. Break free from perfectionism and start winning—on your terms.
