Sometimes we expect too much from ourselves and then it rubs off onto others...how does that make you feel? Can perfectionism make you depressed? What does it mean to work hard, play hard...do I? Sometimes perfectionism can be infectious like a disease. Annie explains her thoughts about her aiming for perfectionism.

This episode is all about finding your ego, how to use your ego and how to make your ego work for you.
