Hey, it's Mariana, I'm the co-founder of Summer Fridays and this is the Life of

Mariana Podcast. This episode is all about perfectionism. It's with the author,

psychologist, and lecturer Thomas Coran and he is a book that's called The Perfection Trap Embracing the Power of Good Enough.

And perfectionism is something that is so difficult in so many of our lives with social

media, work, our friends, our peers, it just seems like we're always striving for something

that maybe is impossible.

And we're always comparing ourselves with others and feeling like we need to be perfect and

there was so many things I wanted to ask him about.

In this episode we talk about understanding perfectionism, where does that come from, how it impacts

our mental and emotional well-being, the connection between perfectionism and burnout,

and especially if you're a creator like me or

consumer how it really impacts social media and how it makes us maybe feel like we

need to be a little bit more perfect. We also talk about how it ties into the need

of external validation.

This book is just a small glimpse into all the advice that he has in his book, The Perfection Trap.
