Summary
Are you a perfectionist? It can sometimes be a good thing, but when things don't go perfectly, it can be something that doesn't serve you well. Sometimes it may stall you, sometimes it may ruin you. Perfection isn't always attainable and if you're not okay with that, then you have some work to do.
In this episode, I'm showing you how your perfectionism might be causing you problems and how to shift your thinking about what you do to lessen you worries about perfection. You are not doomed to be a perfectionist forever if that's not what you want.
