Are you truly a high achiever—or just a perfectionist in disguise? The difference could be draining your joy, your energy, and your mental health.

As healthcare professionals we pride ourselves on excellence, but underneath that drive is often a deep sense of “never enough.” In this powerful episode, Dr. Kara Pepper opens up about her own battle with perfectionism, how it masked itself as ambition, and what finally led her to change everything.

  • How perfectionism shows up in your work, boundaries, and even your rest
  • How Kara created a career and life aligned with her values—and how you can too

 Listen now to learn how to break free from perfectionist patterns.
