People-pleasing and perfectionist tendencies can show up in many ways. Maybe you put everyone's needs ahead of your own or say yes to invitations you're not excited about just to keep the peace. Perhaps you procrastinate or overspend time on projects because they have to be just right. If you don't have the right tools and awareness around these behaviors, they can take a major toll on your well-being.
Today I connect with Kim Gross, a people-pleasing and perfectionism coach and creator of the 5-Step Power Pathway. She helps guide clients on a journey of self-healing so they can have more meaningful connections and the courage to create the life they desire.
Kim shares with us how her perfectionist mask was born, the root cause of people-pleasing and perfectionism and how many of these behaviors are rooted in fear. We also get the opportunity to talk through the 5-step P.O.W.E.R. Pathway and how to reclaim yourself and your power.
