0:08.8	an author, speaker, and all-around self-love advocate. And this is the podcast that will inspire you
0:15.5	to love yourself. I've pretty much come to accept the fact that I will probably forever be a recovering perfectionist.
0:25.4	It's just one of those things that feels so deeply ingrained that I can only work on it and try not to fall into it.
0:35.4	But it's hard and it's exhausting to constantly equate your worth with how perfect
0:41.2	we can appear to be, especially now with social media, our image being everywhere. Of course,
0:47.9	society's obsession with women's beauty and looks, that's another big way perfectionism shows up.
