🎙 Welcome back to the Unconditional Joy Podcast! Today, we’re tackling a major joy-stealer: perfectionism.For most of my life, I believed that if I was perfect—if I got perfect grades, did things the “right” way, and never made mistakes—I would be loved and accepted. Sound familiar? 🙋♀️ But over the years, I’ve learned that this mindset doesn’t bring happiness—it brings self-doubt, exhaustion, and constant self-criticism.✨ In this episode, I share:✔️ How childhood conditioning led me to seek perfection✔️ The exhausting loop of "shoulds" and self-judgment✔️ How perfectionism affected my parenting and personal growth✔️ The game-changing concept of Rupture and Repair in relationships✔️ Why accepting our flaws actually strengthens our connections with others✔️ A simple shift to silence your inner critic with self-compassion🌟 Biggest Takeaway? Perfectionism kills joy. But self-acceptance—flaws and all—brings us closer to Unconditional Joy.💬 Your Turn! What’s one small step you can take to let go of perfection?
