In this conversation, I’m joined by Audrey Holst, a coach and yoga instructor who helps people reform their perfectionism and break away from burnout through the Fortitude and Flow Process, which fuses movement and mindfulness to create sustainable action. Perfectionism (and its corresponding unrealistic expectations that we place on ourselves) is something that comes up for so many of us, and I love Audrey’s no-nonsense and compassionate spirit - her motto (and the title of her upcoming book) is “You’re not perfect, and here’s how to deal with that.”
Listen in to hear us, 2 recovering perfectionists, talk about compassionate productivity, what Audrey calls the “perfectionist 2-step” and how this reactionary way of moving through the world holds us back, the first steps in her process of helping people dismantle their perfectionism (simple, but not always easy), her self care, embodiment, and spiritual practices, plus how they’ve evolved lately, and embracing the both/and.
