In this episode Amber has a conversation with a very special guest, Hailey Thomas*, and they tackle the topic “The Armor of Excellence.”
The Armor of Excellence describes the protective shield that we create for ourselves shrouded in excellence, and how the constant pursuit of excellence becomes perfectionism and how that can become detrimental.
This armor works both ways; It protects you, but it's also a lot to carry and stops you from moving as quickly and as freely as you could. Amber and Hailey break down the ways you can remove this armor by creating safety in other ways and ultimately making life better and easier for you. And OF COURSE Amber discusses how prioritizing and pursuing your own pleasure and play is KEY to learning, growing, healing and creating even more excellence with ease.
They remind us that performing to excellence is great and helps you gain valuable skills, but we don’t always need to wear the armor as every situation in life is not a battle, and will ultimately lead to a constant state of felling unsafe.
In this episode, they teach you how to create excellence and safety. An instant classic!
