In this fun conversation, Kara shares that boundaries are the answer to perfectionism and the importance of having them.  She also gives examples of how she navigates boundaries with her daughter.  I love how she starts to examine situations with curiosity!

Biography

I work with folks struggling with people-pleasing and perfectionistic tendencies to rewire the mental habits keeping them stuck in a loop of stress and worry. We look at how our thoughts about ourselves and what’s possible for our lives affect how we think and feel. I help my clients recognize when they’re putting themselves on the back burner or holding themselves to an unrealistic standard. With this awareness comes the ability to slow down and take better care of ourselves, which allows us more energy to go after our goals.
