“Everything has to be perfect, including me.”
“I made a mistake. I am such a failure.”
“I don’t try new things, because I am afraid I am going to fail.”
“I don’t deserve praise or to feel good.”
“I am unworthy of love, support, or acknowledgement.”
“I am never good enough."

 Do you say any of these to yourself? Do you see yourself as inadequate or insufficient? Do you compare yourself to others, often thinking of yourself as less than or worse than other people? Do you hold yourself to incredibly high standards but give other people grace? Do you hold yourself back, so you don’t fail? This is what we call, “perfectionism.”

 Join us as we breakdown perfectionism, including warning signs that we are battling it, potential ripple effects of perfectionism, and ways to overcome it. We all make mistakes, even that perfect Instagram model we strive to become or that highly wealthy CEO that we emulate. We are ALL worthy, and we ALL deserve grace, including you! Let us help you on your journey to breaking the chains of perfectionism, instead embracing self-compassion and self-forgiveness,
