Perfectionism can be the thief of joy. We've all experienced it and know how the negative self-talk can impact our lives. Today, Sue and Alex talk about their own struggles with perfectionism and give some tips on how they've been able to pull themselves out of that mindset.

As always, it is our goal not only to supply you, the listener, with valuable insights on the topics or questions but also to plant some seeds for further research and thought. Without further ado, let's get into today's episode.
