Summary

Perfectionism suffocates our higher selves from floating to the surface. Yet, no matter how many times we’re told to “let go” and flow with life’s unpredictable groove, many of us reach a hard edge from time to time. Then, what happens? The claws of control, obsession, and paranoia breakthrough any veil of reason, and you find yourself in a state of dis-ease. In this episode, Lindsey opens up about her evolving journey with perfectionism, the work she’s done to release its grip, and how you can free yourself from self-limiting beliefs holding you back.  We also talk about: How perfectionism manifests in behavior Getting to the root of perfectionism  Tools for release  A closing meditation  Sponsors: On Purpose Podcast with Jay Shetty | Listen to new episodes on Mondays and Fridays anywhere you get your podcasts Anima Mundi Herbals | Visit animamundiherbals.com and use code ALMOST30 for 15% off Daily Harvest | Use code ALMOST30 for up to $40 off your first box at www.daily-harvest.com LMNT: Claim a free LMNT Sample Pack (you just need to cover the cost of shipping) by visiting DrinkLMNT.com/Almost30 Zocdoc | Search for local doctors who take your insurance.

0:18.3

Yes. Take off your clothes and get on the scale. Oh, God. So we was like, I was talking to

0:25.0

that someone lately about that. That's people do that. Or that was like the rumor that they

0:29.5

did that in sororities was like, wait, you. What are you allowed to say what you did for sorority

0:34.6

initiation? Because I'm not a part of a sorority. I haven't been. So this is a good example of me.

0:40.8

So we had a sorority night that you have like initiation night and everyone is in there

1:45.9

And then it just becomes this like trauma fast where it's like trauma comparison. Oh, they've

1:51.8
