91. New Year, Same Us: Pursuit of Perfection + The Fear of Being “Average"


Listen Later

It might be a new year but we are back with the same intentions! Our integrations and lessons continue to deepen but our mission and commitment remains steadfast, which is to support you through our conscious conversations to become more loving and accepting of who you are - no matter where you’re at.


Honestly, the start of the year has been slow for us so if you’re in the same boat, you’re in good company! Join us for this episode as we reflect on our previous year and re-visit our perspectives and relationships to growth, the “hustle", confidence, and the fear of being just “average.”


If you’ve been struggling to find your balance and feel like life keeps one-upping you, this conversation will be healing for you as we lovingly lift the hood on the pursuit of perfectionism, self-worth, and personal growth. Our dialogue inspires you to consider that growth is not becoming a perceived better version of yourself but that you listen less to the part of yourself that criticizes you. We hope that this year is the one where you finally decide to be on your own team - for life.


Highlights:


-The Illusion of Perfection

-The Fear of Being Average (or “below average”)

-The Invisibility of Personal Growth

-Confidence: Thinking More About Yourself or Thinking of Yourself Less?

-What We Really Think About Habit Trackers
