This week, I’m bringing back one of the most meaningful and widely listened-to episodes of the podcast. The patriarchal, capitalist, Western way of life imposes certain values and expectations on the way women think, feel, and choose to live. When we fail to meet these expectations, we can often feel lackluster or unsatisfied. Even if we do attain these expectations, there is always another critique looming about the deficit in our lives. In this episode, we will discuss how perfectionism is a manifestation of these societal pressures, and explore ways to shift our mindset to focus on being better, rather than perfect. Here’s what I cover:

• The importance of celebrating our daily small wins rather than fixating on what we could do better
• How the word “better” becomes an invisible authority that keeps women stuck and self-doubting
• Why women are taught not to let emotional labor, grief, or inner work count as real success
• How it's possible to feel accomplished in this society by doing things that bring us joy and make us feel whole
• A simple practice for letting accomplishments land in the body instead of dismissing them
