High-achieving individuals tend to struggle with perfectionism — with striving to achieve an ideal outcome in everything all the time. And what’s wrong with that? Shouldn’t perfection be the standard we aim for?

Though perfection feels like a reasonable and right goal, it simply doesn’t match what we find in reality. At best, perfection is a fantasy. At worst, it’s a delusion. And in either case, when we fail to reach that supreme standard, the result is shame and frustration.

In this podcast, I want to talk about the connection between perfectionism and shame, how it affects high-achievers in particular, and what you can do to free yourself from the cycle.

Somewhere along the way, men often let their physical and emotional health slide without even realizing it. And before they know it, they’re facing down serious consequences and wondering, how did I get here?

But it doesn’t have to be that way. Let’s explore why men tend to give up on their health and, just as importantly, how they can fight that tendency.
