Episode 184: The Paradox of Perfection with Chana Ross


Listen Later

Having high standards is one thing, but if you’re aiming to make everything in your life and work ‘perfect' you're fighting an impossible battle. 

This week on The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast I interviewed Leadership Coach, Women's Health Advocate and mom of four Chana Ross. She’s sharing her lifelong journey of perfectionism and the practices she’s implemented to overcome it.

We chat about:

  • How Chana developed perfectionism tendencies as a child, and the ways we’re conditioned by society to act this way
  • Why, ironically, trying to do everything perfect prevents us being in a growth mindset
  • How intentional scheduling can help prevent over-focussing on specific tasks, and ensure you make time for self care habits too
  • The number one habit Chana prioritises for her mental health and wellbeing, that positively impacts everything she does
