As an ex-perfectionist, I know first hand how debilitating trying to live your life according to unreasonable, unattainable standards can be on your mental health. From my appearance, to grades, to how I spoke to myself, nothing was ever good enough. I was so scared of getting things wrong that I never even gave them a try. But the worst part about it all is that I was suffering in silence. It wasn't until I broke down during my second year of university, and had no choice but to open up and face my demons, I realised other people could relate.
I started this podcast to encourage open, honest, and stigma-free conversation around mental health and empower people to talk about their emotions. I used to think vulnerability was a sign of weakness, but now I see it as my greatest strength. Chances are, you open up about how you feel, someone out there will say "no way! me too".
