Episode 31: Perfectionism, Travel and Finding Your Voice with Margaret Ghielmetti


Listen Later

She grew up a people-pleaser and getting praise kept her doing more of whatever she was told and expected to do. Traveling across the world opened her eyes to new experiences and expanded her horizons; it taught her to let go of the constant striving for perfection and helped her discover her inner voice. Writing and performing allows her to create a heart connection with audiences lucky to interact with her contagious energy. Meet rebellious author, artist and performer Margaret Ghielmetti.

About Margaret:

Margaret Davis Ghielmetti has lived on four continents and has visited nearly fifty countries.

She wrote Brave(ish): A Memoir of a Recovering Perfectionist to inspire readers that it’s never too late to learn to live our own lives–if we dare to let go of outdated roles and rules we thought kept us safe...and to entertain readers with her adventures (and misadventures) abroad, sharing what each country taught her (that she never would have learned on her own.)

Ghielmetti is proud that Brave(ish) earned Silver in Story Circle's Gilda
Prize: nominated memoirs are “Distinguished by their fresh voices, their honesty, and their authenticity. They make us laugh (even when we want to cry).” 

She’s delighted that the New York Times published her Tiny Love Story–“A Memory Mea Culpa"–on New Year’s Day 2023 . . . to have won two StorySLAMs with The Moth “live lit” storytelling show . . . to have been quoted recently in TIME online . . . and with Maria in Authority online!

Her solo show, “Fierce,” is about re-claiming her genuine voice and expression in mid-life; other creative passions include photography, improv, and coaching others to tell their stories.
