Episode #19: Perfectionism Strategy

Summary

Did you know that perfectionism is an actual strategy? You’d be surprised by how many of us, especially working moms, are actually perfectionists. Though you may not identify with the perfectionist label, perfectionism is an extremely broad umbrella category that a lot of people fit into, and we’re breaking it all down in today’s episode.

Our perfectionist mindset is creating results in our life and on the scale, but how do we identify them? A perfectionist mindset is often a roadblock to reaching your ideal weight with simplicity and joy, which is what this podcast is all about, and understanding your perspective when it comes to perfectionism is one of the most important skills in creating more of what you want in your life.

Tune in this week for an introduction to the concept of perfectionism. I’m sharing why perfectionism doesn’t just present as wanting everything to be perfect, why perfectionism may have served you as a strategy in the past, and how to gain clarity on the negative outcomes that perfectionism is currently creating in your life and on the scale, so you can begin to change them.
