In this episode, we will be digging deeper into the concept of perfectionism. If you struggle with being perfect all the time, or have suffered from being held under the microscope of perfect, then this episode is for you. Episode Highlights"It is the belief that when we do things perfectly, and look perfect we can minimize and avoid the pain of blame, judgement, and shame. Perfectionism is a 20 ton shield that we lug around thinking it will protect us, when in fact it's the thing that prevents us from being seen." - Brené Brown, Daring Greatly Perfectionism is about perception, and there is no way that you can control perception no matter how much energy you put into it.
