Perfectionism: Why B+ Work is Key to Healing
Perfectionism is a sneaky little thought habit indeed. It keeps us running in a perpetual hamster wheel of self-doubt, self-loathing, and never enoughness. So what is perfectionism? And how do we know if perfectionist thinking is what’s driving us? How can we distinguish goal- setting, ambition, desire, passion for our work, from perfectionism? Perfectionist thought…

Today, we’re talking about perfectionist thought habits, which is something I coach pretty much all my clients through, and something that was very much a part of my everyday life for a long time too. Perfectionist thinking is sneaky and insidious and can be extremely challenging to identify in yourself, so on this episode, I’m…
