Summary

Why do so many self-described perfectionists, bright, ambitious and hardworking women, feel like something is wrong with them? Why are women taught that perfectionism is a flaw to be managed? Why are perfectionists so hard on themselves? And how can ambitious achievers, striving towards the ideal, find peace and self-compassion while continuing to embrace their perfectionism? I wanted to dive into all these questions with my guest today, Katherine Morgan Schafler, because I both identify as a perfectionist and work with a lot of perfectionists: high-achieving, successful women who use alcohol as a way to disconnect from the anxiety and overwhelm of their lives. Katherine’s a psychotherapist, speaker, author of The Perfectionist’s Guide to Losing Control and former on-site therapist at Google who has worked with legions of self-described perfectionists. In this episode, we dive into all things women and perfectionism.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Hello Sunday podcast, the podcast for busy women who are ready to drink less and live more.
0:10.2	I'm Casey McGuire Davidson, ex-red wine girl turned life coach, helping women create lives they love without alcohol.
0:18.4	But it wasn't that long ago that I was anxious, overwhelmed, and drinking a bottle
0:23.1	of wine a night to unwind. I thought that wine was the glue, holding my life together,
0:28.6	helping me cope with my kids, my stressful job, and my busy life. I didn't realize that my love
0:35.0	affair with drinking was making me more anxious and less able to manage
0:39.5	my responsibilities. In this podcast, my goal is to teach you the tried and true secrets of creating
0:46.5	and living a life you don't want to escape from. Each week, I'll bring you tools, lessons,
0:52.8	and conversations to help you drink less and live more.
0:56.6	I'll teach you how to navigate our drinking-obsessed culture without a buzz,
1:01.0	how to sit with your emotions when you're lonely or angry, frustrated, or overwhelmed,
1:06.9	how to self-soothe without a drink, and how to turn the decision to stop drinking from your
1:12.6	worst-case scenario to the best decision of your life. I am so glad you're here. Now, let's get
1:19.2	started. Hey, it's Casey. If you've been thinking about taking a break from drinking, but keep
1:26.3	pushing it off, this is your sign to do
1:29.9	something different. I know what it's like to wake up again thinking, why did I drink last night?
1:35.8	I wasn't even planning to. Or to tell yourself, I'll take a break next week or after that next big
1:42.8	event or maybe next month. But here's the thing, waiting
1:46.9	doesn't make it easier. What does? A game plan that actually works. That's why I want you to come
1:54.8	join me in my free master class, five secrets to successfully take a break from drinking, even if you've tried and failed before.
2:04.8	In this free class, I'm going to show you why your past attempts haven't worked and what to do
2:10.8	instead. The mindset shifts you need to make this break feel doable and even exciting.
