Mindful Business Evolution - FKA: At The Table w/ Women in Leadership

The Unattainable Pursuit of Perfection: Reclaiming Identity, Promoting Self-Acceptance, and Achieving Career Balance


Listen Later

Ever wondered how the words we learn as children shape our identity? Join us on a journey as we revisit the past, discovering the power of language and knowledge to form our perceptions of ourselves and the world around us; a journey that uncovers the silent messages that often lead to self-rejection in a pursuit for an unattainable ideal of perfection. We also dive into the stories of our parents, teachers, and other significant figures in our lives, unraveling their influence in moulding our understanding of who we are and should be.

The quest for perfection and self-acceptance can be a rocky road, but we delve into it headfirst, looking to Don Miguel Ruiz's insights. From the lie of imperfection to the pain of striving for an ideal that doesn't exist, we explore the struggle, the suffering, and ultimately, the path towards self-acceptance. We shine a light on the harmful narratives that lead to self-punishment and reveal how we can reframe these messages to foster self-love and acceptance.

But the conversation doesn't stop with self-acceptance. We believe in the importance of self-care in achieving career success, and so we shift our focus to the poignant stories of Mita Durran and Ariana Huffington. Their experiences underscore the need for adequate sleep and the dangers of overworking. We share insights on how to reclaim your time, balance your work and personal lives, and ultimately, find meaning in your work. This is an episode brimming with enlightening perspectives, fascinating research, and practical tips, an essential listen for anyone seeking harmony in their personal and professional lives.
