When did we start believing that anything less than flawless was unacceptable? As your mental health coach focused on cultivating joy, peace, rest, and softness, I'm tackling this question head-on while sharing my own bumpy journey. From missing my weekly upload schedule to recording with dead batteries and wearing the same outfit in multiple episodes, I've faced numerous "failures" by my perfectionist standards. Yet these imperfect moments have become my greatest teachers.

In this episode, we explore the transformative journey of releasing perfectionism and embracing our imperfect selves. Things we explore: 

• The unique pain of disappointing yourself versus disappointing others
• Why being "okay with not being okay" is a crucial step toward growth
• The perfectionist tendency to see things as having a "right way" and "wrong way"
• How childhood experiences of either shame or praise shape perfectionist patterns
• The importance of separating your worth from your performance
• Understanding that failure doesn't make you a failure

Your homework: Identify areas of your life where you've been beating yourself up about not being perfect. Reflect on where these feelings stem from and develop positive affirmations to counter negative self-talk.
