63. Regret: A Sneaky Form of Perfectionism


Listen Later

In this episode, Steph describes another sneaky form of the Perfectionist saboteur...regret. She discusses how our inability to let things go and feel stuck in regret is connected to the false narrative that we have the capacity to be perfect, and when we make mistakes, we have somehow failed. This was a pervasive belief for her, and has often comes up for many people in general. By understanding the roots of these saboteurs, listeners are encouraged to let go of regret and embrace learning from mistakes, ultimately fostering resilience and our own expansion. We always have the ability to choose how we view our past. Let's choose compassion and learning so we can grow.
