You may *think* your perfectionism is serving you well, but… what if I told you it’s actually holding you back from reaching your personal and professional goals AND it’s stealing joy and happiness from your life?

From one perfectionist to another (I tend to attract a lot of you!): Letting go of our perfectionism is ESSENTIAL if we want to make our dreams come true, and even though it’s not easy to let go of our fixations and perfectionist tendencies, it’s SO worth it – I know from experience.

If this sounds like something you could use some help with, you’re in the right place! 

Today I’m sharing how perfectionism can show up in our lives and the impact it often has (hint: for most of us, it’s not a very positive impact), and I’m offering solutions for overcoming your perfectionism that have been game-changers for my clients and me.
