This week's episode is dedicated to all perfectionists, whether past, present, or future. As a reforming perfectionist, I share my personal journey of letting go of the need for perfection and its liberating yet challenging process. I delve into real-life examples, such as overthinking paint colors and refolding laundry, to illustrate the pitfalls of perfectionism. We dive deep into how perfectionism acts as a protective measure against criticism but ultimately hampers growth and happiness. With rising levels of perfectionism particularly among millennials and college students, I highlight its severe mental and physical health repercussions, supported by pertinent studies. Drawing from my experiences as a nurse practitioner and a mother, I emphasize the importance of setting realistic expectations and fostering self-compassion. The episode urges viewers to recognize their inherent worth beyond achievements, prioritize joy and presence over perfection, and grant themselves the same grace they offer others. The ultimate takeaway is embracing excellence while allowing room for mistakes, encouraging a healthier, more fulfilling life.
