89: How I'm Taming My Inner Perfectionist


Listen Later

I don’t know about you, but one of my biggest dreams is to one day have a library in my house. I read all kinds of books because I love getting lost in a great story. Today I’m sharing my top 3 books to tame that inner perfectionist. 

As a recovering perfectionist myself, perfectionism has served me well in many ways. It helped me make it through university and my grad degree. It helped me get my dream job right out of college. It also helped me start my own business. 

But sometimes my inner perfectionist holds me back. I’ve spent the last few years learning to overcome my perfectionism and these three books have helped me build tools and strategies that work. 

Listen as I share my thoughts on Rejection Proof by Jia Jiang, Everything is Figureoutable by Marie Forleo, and Becoming by Michelle Obama. The three books I recommend most for overcoming perfectionism and finding balance in work and life.
