This week, Beth and new friend and fellow Type A+ person Karen Lemke discuss the 'seesaw' of perfectionism, and the ways we rob ourselves of joy in the pursuit of 'success.'

Beth and Karen met on LinkedIn when Karen shared this personal message:

I recently turned 60 and, for the vast majority of my life (work and school), I have tried to be perfect at everything.  It was like living on a see-saw; either I was perfect or I was chopped liver.  Over time, I was quite successful in many endeavors, and I allowed myself very little time or space to celebrate/enjoy the successes, because I quickly moved onto the next thing to be perfect at.  It was exhausting and joyless.

Tune in to hear the candid conversation about career journeys, celebrating success, and truly opening yourself up to joy.
