What up, Beasts. Welcome back to the show! In this episode, I’m talking with author and recovering perfectionist Vicki Paris Goodman about the wild inner world of Type A personalities. We dig into how control, neatness, and “getting it right” can look like strengths but secretly drain us dry, and how peace often comes from softening instead of striving. This conversation is funny, raw, and totally relatable. It’s a reminder that awareness (and a little humor) can turn even perfectionism into progress.
As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh.

What if health wasn’t about rules or restriction? What if it felt more like trust, ease, and actually liking the person in the mirror?
I help people rebuild their relationship with food, movement, and themselves, so health becomes something you live, not something you chase.
