Balance & Beyond

I Used to Think My Perfectionism Was a Strength. Here’s What I Know Now.


Listen Later

Have you ever found yourself obsessing over minute details, striving for a level of perfection that seems just out of reach? I'm going to share a few confessions from my journey as a recovering perfectionist. I'll unravel how this trait, once something I was quite proud of, subtly transformed into a hindrance that stifled my growth. From obsessing over PowerPoint presentations to maintaining a spotless kitchen and how a significant mistake early in my career shifted my perspective. 

Join me as we examine the roots of perfectionism, often seeped in our childhood experiences and fear. We'll discover how this quest for perfection can lull us into a false sense of security and obstruct our journey towards realising our full potential. But it doesn't have to be this way! Find out how embracing imperfection can unshackle us from self-imposed standards and empower us to become more influential.


If you're grappling with your own high standards, this episode offers a road map to navigate your perfectionism and revel in the beauty of imperfection.


So, come, let's confront our fears, embrace our flaws and let our imperfections shine!
