Summary

Sarah and Tish Hamilton delve into perfectionism—what it is, what it does to us, how to overcome it—with Kathryn Ely, a licensed counselor and host of the Imperfect Thriving podcast. A self-professed “anxious perfectionist,” Kathryn lays out:

-traits and behaviors of perfectionism;

-why perfectionism can trip you up—in running and everyday life;

-how (and why!) to give yourself permission to be a beginner;

-the power (both positive and negative) of self-talk; and

-what type of therapy can work best for overcoming perfectionism.

In the liberal arts-y intro, Sarah and Tish talk poetry, wildflowers, and sunrises (!!); Kathryn makes a perfectly timed entrance at 10:43.

1:20.9	Yeah, April is definitely bossed in month. I haven't run it in a few years, and there's a little
1:27.7	known fact about that famous marathoner TS Elliott. He wrote that famous line while he was tapering

2:17.2	Yes. So you can listen to TS Elliott himself reading, you know, the love song of J Al for proof
