Giving Her a Voice with Monica Packer
#31: In this episode, I chat with Monica Packer, a podcaster known for her show 'About Progress,' centered on personal development and overcoming perfectionism. Monica discusses her background, her family, and the evolution of her pragmatic approach to self-growth inspired by her own struggles with perfectionism. I then shared about Monica’s great-grandmother Lucy's life and her daughter Susie's experiences. Their lives were difficult to say the least and I loved sharing bits of their story with Monica.
