The Long and The Short Of It

162. Imperfection


Listen Later

Pete and Jen noodle on the idea that it is our imperfections that connect us, and how sharing those imperfections may be an empathy tool.

Specifically, in this episode Jen and Pete talk about:

  • Why (and when) is it important to share your imperfections?
  • How might sharing an imperfection move a conversation forward, or create connection?
  • Why is perfectionism hard to relate to, and imperfection easier to understand?
