Welcome to today’s episode of ‘She Leads Confidently’ podcast! Today we’ll be discussing Overcoming Perfectionism, a topic that many of us can relate to perfectionism. It’s easy to fall into the trap of believing that perfectionism is a good thing. After all, isn’t it better to strive for excellence in all that we do?

However, the truth is that perfectionism can be harmful to our mental health and well-being. It can lead us to believe that we are not good enough and that we must be perfect to succeed. In reality, this kind of thinking can hold us back and prevent us from reaching our full potential.

At its core, perfectionism is rooted in fear. Fear of failure, rejection, and not being good enough. We believe that if we can be perfect, we won’t have to face these fears. But the reality is that perfectionism is an unattainable goal. No one is perfect, and striving for perfection only leads to disappointment and frustration.

Instead of focusing on being perfect, we should focus on being our best selves. This means embracing our imperfections and learning from our mistakes. It means taking risks and being willing to fail. It means being kind to ourselves and recognizing that we are enough, just as we are.

So, if you find yourself falling into the trap of perfectionism, remember that it’s okay to make mistakes. It’s okay to be imperfect. You are enough, just as you are. By embracing your imperfections and striving to be your best self, you’ll find that you can achieve more than you ever thought possible.

Thank you for tuning in to today’s episode of the ‘She Leads Confidently’ podcast. Remember to lean not into being good enough and stop holding yourself back.
