(71) The Perfectionism Trap, how patriarchy keeps women striving and small
Description
Why do so many brilliant, capable women feel like they’re never enough, no matter how hard they try?
This episode dives deep beneath the surface of perfectionism to reveal its true roots, not in personal ambition, but in systemic control. What if the pressure to "get it right," look the part, and keep everyone happy isn’t 'how you are'.. but a deeply ingrained tool of the patriarchal playbook?
You’ll hear:
- How perfectionism subtly shapes our careers, relationships, and self-worth
- Why the "inner critic" might actually be a survival voice passed down through generations
- The emotional toll of chasing an ideal that was never designed to be achievable
- And most importantly: a new, liberating path forward
This episode is not just a mindset shift. It’s the reclamation of a different path. Let's begin your journey out of the perfectionism trap.
