  • 50. Turning Perfectionism Into Your Superpower with Katherine Morgan Schafler, LMHC

    In today's episode of Loving Wellness, I am joined by the author of The Perfectionist's Guide to Losing Control, Katherine Morgan Schafler. Katherine is a psychotherapist, writer and speaker based in New York City. Formerly an on-site therapist at Google, she earned her degrees and training at UC Berkeley and Columbia University, with post-graduate certification from the Association for Spirituality and Psychotherapy. If you have ever identified as a perfectionist, this episode is a must-listen!


    In the episode, we chat about:

    • Why perfectionism isn’t just wanting everything to be perfect all the time
    • The difference between healthy and unhealthy perfectionists
    • The history of perfectionism & why we've pathologized perfectionism as a society
    • How to use your perfectionism as your power
    • Questions to ask yourself to know if your perfectionism is getting in the way of your mental well-being
    • Tangible tools to help you stop overthinking and start living in the present moment
    • How to actually improve your self worth
    • A unique perspective on the link between perfectionism and eating disorders
    • How to honor and make amends to our bodies as women
    • ...and so much more!

    • 49. Podcast Rebrand: All About Loving Wellness & My Inner Growth Journey

      Introducing...the Loving Wellness Podcast! The evolution of the podcast is finally here, and I could not be more excited to share this with you.


      Loving Wellness™ is my wellness philosophy & method that advocates for a radical change in how we perceive health. It calls for a shift from rigid, perfection-based approaches to a more compassionate, self-loving perspective. This holistic approach blends science with intuition & intention to help you thrive beyond your limits into your healthiest, most aligned self.


      This new era of the podcast will be focused on just that- approaching every aspect of well-being through a loving lens. So whether you’re interested in optimizing your nutrition, deepening your self-love, building healthy relationships, healing from chronic symptoms, shifting to a more positive mindset, growing spiritually, or really anything in between, I hope Loving Wellness can provide the support you’re looking for. 


      In this first episode of the Loving Wellness Podcast, I dive into why I decided to do this rebrand in the first place, where this next chapter of the pod is going, and what you can expect from the show. I also decided to do something a little different to celebrate this new era: in this ep, I’m sharing a special interview I did on my dear friend Carolina Salazar’s podcast, Inner Growth. In the interview, I share openly about my own inner growth journey and my story and background with my health, wellness, and life in general. I also do a deeper dive on Loving Wellness and how to practice it, so I thought this would be the perfect episode to kick off the rebrand so you can get to know me and my approach a bit better!


      I am so excited for this new chapter- you can continue to expect new episodes of the show every Wednesday! Make sure to subscribe to be notified of new episodes, and as always, thank you for listening!
