For this week’s episode, I wanted to unpack perfectionism mostly because so many people have been asking me about it. Here’s what I discuss:

* Why Virgo gets stereotyped as the perfectionist

* Perfectionism as a tool of white supremacy

* Finding our own sense of enough-ness

* All the things we miss out on because of perfectionism

* Perfectionism as a form of control against the unknown—and a defense mechanism against getting rejected

* Why it’s healthy and important to be rejected, to fail

* Self-reflection questions

* What happens when you center process over perfection/goals/outcomes

Let me know how this episode lands for you! Curious what kinds of convos it will spark in your head. Leave me a comment and lmk <3
