About this listen
In this episode of Shift Happens, we unpack perfectionism, what it really is, how it shows up, and why it can hold us back. We explore the idea that perfectionism isn’t a personality trait, but a response to fear, control, and the pressure to avoid failure, often leading to procrastination and inaction.
We discuss the different ways perfectionism presents itself, its link to imposter syndrome, and how it can appear in areas like work, social media, and even our relationship with food. Through personal reflections and real-life examples, we highlight how striving for perfection can become a self-fulfilling cycle.
If you’ve ever felt stuck waiting for things to be “perfect” before starting, this episode offers a more realistic perspective on progress, mindset, and letting go of unrealistic standards.
