Perfectionism. It's a common relentless inner stress that I know I'm not alone in experiencing. What you might not realize is that it's a common symptom of being stuck in mode of survival mode. In this episode I invite you to reframe Perfectionism, along with being a "Good Girl" and other traits of survival mode that can be causing us stress without our even knowing it, and take a deep dive into how we can understand our Superpowers and Shadow Sides to create a more peaceful, balanced life. 

Join me as I share: 

  • My personal experience with Perfectionism and how one of my patients shifted my perspective 
  • The potential health consequences of Perfectionism 
  • The meaning behind "hungry ghosts" and why you may be holding on to your past 
  • Symptoms that suggest you may be struggling with Perfectionism 
  • Seven simple practices to help shift out of Perfectionism
