From Gifted Kid to Human Being: Releasing the Need to Be Perfect

Growing up as the “smart kid” shaped my identity in so many ways.. At the time, I basked in this energy, but as an adult, that label has come with hidden pressure like the fear of failure or the belief that if I don’t learn quickly or simply that I’m not good enough. In this episode, I want to chat with y'all about how starting a new job triggered old perfectionist patterns and how I’m actively working to give myself grace. I'm sharing what it means to be a lifelong learner instead of a high achiever and how I’m learning to be okay with not knowing . I'm also sharing three actionable tips to help you release perfectionism and embrace your humanness, starting today. I hope you enjoy this one! Patreon Advertising Inquiries: Privacy & Opt-Out:
