Summary
I did a podcast recently where I was going to coach a podcast listener. In the middle of the call I lost internet and had to end it. If you want to hear a less than perfect coaching session and podcast episode go back and listen to #204. I fixed it as best I could …

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Thinner Piece and Menopause and Beyond. This is Dr. Deb Butler, Master Life and Weight Coach, and as every single week, your coach. Today is episode number 206. I want to talk to you about being perfect. Stay tuned. |
| 0:23.1 | Well, hello, everybody. How are all my sweet, sweet friends doing today? All of my |
| 0:28.2 | sweethearts. You know, you are my sweetheart. I call myself sweetheart. I call my client sweetheart, |
| 0:33.8 | and I call you sweetheart because you know what? You are. And so am I. What I want to talk to you about |
| 0:39.0 | today is really interesting because I just did a podcast number 204 was how to stop being afraid of feeling sad |
| 0:47.1 | and angry in order to lose weight. And I had done an interview with Karen on a letter that she wrote me. And the interesting thing about |
| 0:55.7 | that podcast was that we had internet interruption and I actually could not finish the podcast. |
| 1:01.7 | So I just pieced it together the best that I could and made some comments on what I thought |
| 1:09.8 | about it and put it out as a podcast. So after that, I got a letter |
| 1:14.3 | from one of my previous clients that I want to read to you because what I want to talk to you |
| 1:20.3 | about today is the idea of perfectionism. And it's so funny because when I did that podcast, |
| 1:27.1 | it did not occur to me. But then my dearest, |
| 1:30.1 | dearest client, who I have not talked to in a year, but worked with her almost over a year ago, |
| 1:35.5 | she sent me this letter. And so I just want to read it to you because it's all about perfectionism. |
| 1:40.5 | This is what she said. Hi, Dr. Deb. I wanted to reach out to you regarding your podcast 204 on |
| 1:46.2 | how to stop being afraid of feeling your anger and sadness. I know your podcast was on how to stop being |
| 1:51.4 | afraid, but the takeaway I got on the podcast is that you do not have to be perfect. For example, |
| 1:57.7 | you were not able to complete the call with Karen due to internet issues, but you still |
| 2:01.7 | decided to use her call on the podcast. As someone who is working on perfectionism issues, |
| 2:06.9 | you demonstrated that whatever you do, it does not need to be perfect. You took the technical |
| 2:12.0 | glitch and were able to make it still work. Now, as I write this, a light bulb went off in my head, and I can use this |
| 2:19.3 | podcast to not be afraid if something does not work out as it was originally planned. I can still |
