In this empowering episode, I sit down with Dr. Greg Chasson, licensed clinical psychologist, University of Chicago professor, and author of Flawed. As a recovering perfectionist myself, I loved exploring this topic with Dr. Chasson. We dive into the ways perfectionism shows up in our lives and why the word "should" may be the most toxic word in the English language.

Key Takeaways:

🔥The Power of "Should": Learn why this small word can create enormous pressure and self-criticism.

🔥Practical Tips for Perfectionists: Strategies to recognize perfectionistic patterns and start living with more freedom.

🔥Insights from Flawed: Dr. Chasson shares lessons from his book that can help you let go of unrealistic expectations.
