Tune in for a deep conversation about creativity, psychology, and artistic growth!

What does perfectionism really mean—and how can we free ourselves from it? In this episode of Jung at Harp, Deborah Henson-Conant and Kathleen Wiley dive into the patterns that hold us back, from critical self-talk to anxiety rooted in the fear of judgment. Through storytelling, music, and Jungian insight, they unpack how perfectionism can disconnect us from our own voice—and how vulnerability, awareness, and community can guide us back to authentic self-expression.

They explore how old habits, inner shame, and emotional blocks show up in creative work—and how small actions and supportive relationships can help shift us from fear into flow. Whether you’re an artist, a musician, or someone navigating your own journey of self-worth, this episode offers a powerful and compassionate look at how to reclaim your voice.

Each episode in this series reflects one of the seven principles in Deborah’s Strings of Passion framework: Impulse, Structure, Character, Roles, Practice(s), Deconstruction, and Lift-Off.
