In this episode of the RD Exam Made Easy Podcast, I talk about perfectionism. It's no secret dietitians are known to have perfectionist tendencies which can be channeled for wonderful things. But at the same time, can hold you back from making progress in your life and career. 

As someone who's regularly struggled with perfectionism, I wanted to share my challenges and some of the things I do to help me get over these perfectionist tendencies. 

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why perfectionism needs to be controlled so you can focus on helping others
• Some actionable things you can start doing today if you're struggling with perfectionism

Remember, perfectionism can stop progress. A great mantra to follow: "Done is better than perfect".

When you wait for things to be perfect, you won't get it done. Wanting to do well is a natural thing but if it goes to far, it can be paralyzing. So if this is something you're struggling with, you won't want to miss this episode. 

And it will be a good reminder that you're not alone - I'm with you. But even more than that, you can do something about it. 

Because you can do hard things!
